Our story
Initially PlaceChangers emerged as an innovation pilot from Sebastian's research.
In the tumultuous times of the Covid-19 pandemic, our co-founders were inspired by the critical need for healthier and more resilient communities and went full-time on the business. They envisioned a world where town planners, urban designers, and architects have easy access to all data and insights needed to shape high quality projects.
With a combined wealth of experience in planning and digital technologies, they understood the critical need for simplifying complex processes and making them accessible to a broader audience.
This is how PlaceChangers was born, a platform for planning professionals centred on interactive proposal mapping and offering intuitive, yet powerful analytics and consultations that are easy to use.
