Mobility Hubs – Introducing the concept
This is the first in a series of articles discussing the concept of Mobility Hubs and how they can help solve the problem of sustainable transport in our cities.
The article explains what a Mobility Hub is (there is no current absolute definition), and explores the socio-political and technological landscape which has led to current examples of Hubs in operation.
As a solution, Miles considers if Mobility Hubs are a way to find a balance between the needs of mass transit user and individual vehicle owners.
And finally there is an analysis of the two fundamental challenges facing the widespread roll-out of Mobility Hubs : the constantly evolving technology and the development of commercially viable business models.
These articles are written for SMLL by guest author Dr Miles Elsden.
