Modular Urban Multi Hub

A clean planet, a secure future! 

• Primary and secondary schools as gateways to sustainable communication.

• Thanks to the MODULAR URBAN HUB facilities, student visits can be organized throughout the municipality, creating a calendar of interesting events, such as themed days. These events will aim to raise students' awareness of what they can do to preserve the environment around them and how to promote common-sense practices regarding environmental issues, which we provide below as examples.

• Objective: correct waste management

• Problem: The importance of waste separation and plastic reduction.

• Action (Elementary): The Game of Colors

  Teach the colors of the bins: Blue=Paper, Yellow=Plastic, etc.

• The Action (Medium): Stop Single-Use

  Promote the use of reusable water bottles and containers.

• Language: Waste is a resource. Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle are our three secret powers.

• Involvement of supply chain consortia to support communication campaigns.

• Current problems: waste management and environmental communication, lack of social spaces, local tourism promotion.
• Waste management and environmental communication are currently a challenge for all municipal administrations, which are constantly seeking the best solutions and technologies to make the services they offer citizens increasingly smart—designed to simplify their lives. The goal is to streamline services and reduce costs for citizens , while also engaging them in environmental sustainability communication efforts.
• The lack of spaces for socializing outside of the usual social gatherings makes people increasingly isolated from the livable context of our cities; it pushes the new generations towards a depersonalized socialization typical of a virtual, not real, world.
• Enhancethe social, cultural, and tourism aspects of the region, with the aim of making it more interactive and accessible to both residents and tourists. Tourism enhancement is typically the most complex aspect to manage. The MODULAR URBAN HUB aims to support these challenges and serve as a multidisciplinary tool that integrates the various aspects.

• Become a powerful environmental communication tool, raising awareness among all citizens, both adults and schoolchildren, about separate waste collection. The issues include improving the quality of waste collection, increasing the percentage of waste sorting, and the journey that sorted waste takes, from its disposal to its recycling in the plastic, glass, and paper supply chains. It is transformed into other consumer products, which are reintroduced into the market with significant environmental and economic benefits, as well as environmental sustainability—linked to the choices each of us makes in our daily lives.
• Become a social and cultural hub for the Municipality thanks to its services. For example, charging stations for cell phones, iPads, computers, scooters, and e-bikes; as well as its community library section, where anyone can check out or deposit books through a dedicated app—after registering on a dedicated website that will be created as part of this project.
• Become an interactive support hub serving the tourism sector, thanks to the presence of interactive screens on board the MODULAR URBAN HUB station. The screens will be available to tourists, providing real-time information on the historical, archaeological, and/or naturalistic heritage of the municipality and on the best transportation system to reach the sites of interest.
• Become an interactive support hub for various institutional activities, thanks to an interactive screen managed directly by the Municipal Administration. The Administration will be able to provide real-time responses to citizens' questions and/or requests on local issues, as well as send various institutional messages. Furthermore, a dedicated totem (equipped with its own hardware and software) will be able to assess citizen satisfaction with the services provided by the Municipal Public Administration.
