What can other cities learn from your project?
LEARNINGS
Keeping a city safe and clean isn't easy but there is always a solution!
At Movby we learned that our most important asset is the community we are working with, locating their mobility issues and offering a convenient and local solution to a global scale.
We learnt that what matters the most isn´t what is being shared, for how much or for how long but the place where it's shared and the people that create the community.
In the future Movby will look into other locations in order to find out how to generate the best mobility option range and strengthen the local community.
