Firstly, a huge thank you to Ian and the team at the British Property Federation, who help oversee the £1.7 Trillion UK real estate market, for asking me, originally, to be the keynote for their annual event in London that, due to the Covid-19 pandemic then became a virtual event where we managed to pack even more great content in and turn the keynote into entertainment for the entire family for those of us in lock down.

During the keynote we covered a wide range of topics, from science fiction to science fact, discussed how the sustainable communities of the future will be built and their role in society, and all manner of things.
