Sarah Murray created a splash with her Ted Talk in 2017, where she envisioned a solution to the housing shortage through technology and gamification.
We catch up with her two years on to discuss the evolution of her idea, democratizing the housing process, and how technology is poised to disrupt the traditional housing and construction industry.

Sarah was a speaker at the Affordable Housing across Asia conference organized by Cagamas Berhad and the World Bank on 2 - 3 April 2019.
