Miss Miyagi

Financing platform for the collective reuse of real estate

Miss Miyagi specialises in initiating and coordinating bottom-up redevelopment projects with a social added value. In her practice, she succeeds in giving commercially undevelopable buildings (which are therefore often threatened with demolition) a socially relevant and economically profitable reallocation (De Hoorn, Hal5, etc.). Crucial here is the importance of matchmaking between buildings to be reused, users and investors.

The reuse and reallocation of existing buildings is an important challenge within the theme of the circular city. The strategic reallocation of buildings contributes directly and indirectly to a more circular city. Directly, because very diverse raw materials (materials, energy, space, etc.) are reused. Indirectly, because practice shows that social reallocation projects form an important spatial, economic and mental framework for various circular processes.

Miss Miyagi has already developed a digital real estate platform for matchmaking between buildings and users. Based on some very concrete cases, this project wants to investigate and test the possibilities of developing bottom-up forms of financing and integrating them into the platform. In this way, the methodology of bottom-up reallocation can be scaled up and make a significant (direct and indirect) contribution to the circular city.
