In the rest of the modern world, that process takes 2-8 years. Layers of bureaucracy are driving housing prices up, putting housing out of the reach of young couples. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Israel Land Authority has turned to using a groundbreaking business intelligence platform to re-engineer the cumbersome process of bringing land to market. Our solution is called Ramitech-MEMAD, and it aims to boost housebuilding by integrating data from all stakeholders into a single technological solution.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>Our solution allows all stakeholders to see the housing supply pipeline in full, enabling them to shorten this process. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We recognized that the key problem is the sheer number of decision makers in the development value chain \u2013 from planning agencies, ministries of infrastructure and to builders \u2013 and the complexity of their relationships. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Israel\u2019s case is additionally complicated because 93% of the land is owned by the state or the Jewish National Fund and only leased to end-users.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>The Israel Land Authority must find, negotiate and reimburse lessees for land previously let before this land can be put on the market for housing. It then takes responsibility for infrastructure and prepares public tenders which contractors can bid on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Ramitech-MEMAD creates an end-to-end master view of all the processes governing all housing activities, putting all relevant actors on the same page to help them collaborate and map out an accelerated way forward. The system enables decision makers to see the big picture and with a few mouse-clicks go from a bird\u2019s eye view all the way down to the smallest marketing units. An advanced GIS system is integrated at all level of detail, allowing decision makers to go from identifying problematic regions to zooming down and examining a specific plan in relation to surrounding infrastructure. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The system cross-cuts masses of data, pointing to areas best capable of supporting large-scale development. It points out infrastructural obstacles such as inadequate sewage systems or inadequate transportation solutions which inhibit development at several sites at once. Whereas architects and planners can make intelligent estimates, Ramitech-MEMAD gives data-driven assessments, which give ministries clear-cut answers about what they need to change to unblock development. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Ramitech-MEMAD project is already in use at the National Housing Commission and its relevant partners. It is hosted in the cloud, in order to reach all relevant actors without exposing sensitive government networks to cyberattacks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Last year, the system won the national IT award. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">As a smart system, RAMITECH is constantly improving, and is already substantially more advanced than in its beta version. There is no doubt we\u2019ve already seen big improvements in the efficiency of the planning process. Israel has taken a giant step forwards to bringing housing development in line with the rest of the western world&#8211;and we\u2019re still improving.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/digileaders.com\/insights\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21547\" src=\"https:\/\/digileaders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Button-colour-green-2.png\" alt=\"More Thought Leadership\" width=\"356\" height=\"74\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Israel is currently suffering from a severe housing crisis&#8211;and it\u2019s largely avoidable.\u00a0 The scarcity of land with zoning plans, clear ownership and appropriate infrastructure has led to a shortage of land made available for building housing units.
