The UK has thousands of small plots of land that are dormant or underused. The aim is simple - to help kickstart building on those sites where homes, workplaces and community buildings are backed by the community and needed the most.
This platform has been built by Participatr - we're specialists in creating digital platforms that make it easier for communities to shape the built environment. It is a not-for-profit initiative for social good, using our existing digital toolkit to promote a better and more inclusive built environment.
