Traditional urban design processes often fail to adequately incorporate the perspectives of diverse stakeholders, leading to unsustainable and unequal urban environments. This lack of inclusivity can result in designs that do not meet the needs of local communities, leading to dissatisfaction and wasted resources.

The platform empowers communities to co-create sustainable urban environments by providing intuitive and versatile creation tools that are simple enough for a wide range of users. All contributions and updates are visible in real-time and can be easily shared with target stakeholders using QR codes or short links. By involving stakeholders and end-users in the design process, Metvibee helps property developers and municipalities design projects that work for key stakeholders, creating vibrant neighborhoods that benefit everyone.
