A NETWORK OF URBAN HUBS
MICRO CARGO
A Paradigm Shift is Underway
Quads are leading the shift in delivery modes, replacing vans with double the capacity. As package demand rises, companies are turning to quads for bigger loads, while basic bikes handle smaller deliveries. Quads from Europe are gaining traction, and when paired with Urban Hubs, they boost efficiency and optimize infrastructure.
MICRO TRANSIT
NYC Needs Much More than Citibike
NYC Comptroller Lander highlights the risks associated with a potential shift in ownership from Lyft and rising maintenance costs that could destabilize the service. Urban Hubs aim to address these long-term concerns with CitiBike by offering more options and alternative surface transit solutions, especially in response to subway disruptions from climate-related events.

GARBAGE
Does Not Disappear by Itself
(— Mayor Bloomberg)
NYC's garbage problem threatens public health and urban competitiveness. Waste attracts pests, spreads disease, and harms respiratory health, while also tarnishing the city’s global image and deterring business and tourism. Innovative waste management hubs and better recycling can improve sanitation, waste collection, and disease control.
