#23 - Ocean Jangda and Firas Saffiedine: Real Estate Development for the 21st Century

A conversation with Ocean Jangda and Firas Saffiedine. Ocean Jangda is a real-estate manager and urban technologist. His recent thesis at the MIT Center for Real Estate, titled Urban Technology: Rethinking Real Estate Development for the 21st Century, challenges how we build cities and argues for a development model that is deeply connected to biology, technology, and the biosphere. Firas Saffiedine is an author and founder of the architecture practice Spatial Forces. We explore questions about the future of development: What responsibilities do developers have? Can cities behave like living systems? How does information, matter, and energy shape urban futures, and what does it mean to design for the planetary scale? This episode dives into the mental models, ethics, and cosmic perspective required to rethink how and why we build.Find out more about Ocean and Firas here:https://oceanjangda.orghttps://www.spatial-forces.com
