The "Less is More" Philosophy
We believe in creating NDCs (New Development Concepts) that prioritize genuine wellbeing over consumption:
- Cost of Living Transparency: Understanding happiness with facilities relative to monthly costs in different areas
- Removing Purchase Guilt: Help people feel content without the pressure to spend money to be happy in cities
- Education & Contentment: Educating people to be happy with what they already have, focusing on sustainable practices
- Data-Driven Change: Using open sensor data to build urban ecosystems that are resilient, sustainable, and genuinely happier
