The company helps councils and developers engage with local residents on projects such as urban planning, infrastructure development, and property development

The company plans to use the new funding to expand its operations and develop new features.
ProblemTechnology
"Local communities are often disconnected and don't have a platform to communicate with each other and local authorities about important issues."
Solution
"Commonplace is a platform that allows local communities to engage with each other and local authorities on issues such as planning and urban change. It enables online consultations, feedback collection, and project updates, helping to bridge the gap between residents and decision-makers."
