In view of the increasing number of trouble spots around the world &#8211; be it due to natural and climate disasters, poverty or wars and the resulting flows of refugees &#8211; but also the increasing need for housing, this vision became a mission. Back in 2013, he faced this major social and humanitarian challenge and decided to do everything he could to make affordable, safe and environmentally friendly accommodation available to everyone, everywhere. According to estimates by UN-Habitat and the World Bank, there is already a shortage of around 300 million houses for over two billion homeless people, and the number is expected to double by 2030 &#8211; not counting the estimated 80 million refugees worldwide.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-85a0a6b e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"85a0a6b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d7559f7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d7559f7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11182\" src=\"https:\/\/smarter-habitat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/ecohablogo_farbe.svg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" \/> &#8211; From the idea to the product<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6c2f1bb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6c2f1bb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>SMARTER HABITAT has now come a big step closer to this goal with its <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11182\" src=\"https:\/\/smarter-habitat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/ecohablogo_farbe.svg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" \/> composite panels.
