CoMo Pop-up Mobility Hubs

Meristem Design partnered with CoMoUK to design, fabricate, and supply a series of pop-up mobility hubs across Scotland. Delivered through Paths for All’s Smarter Choices and Smarter Places Fund, these modular hubs aim to promote active and sustainable travel, transforming everyday spaces into vibrant, accessible community assets.

The hubs have been installed in locations throughout Scotland such as Mount Florida, Kinning Park, and Kelvinbridge, with temporary placements outside schools, leisure centres, and high streets. Each hub spends around eight weeks at a site, encouraging residents to trial new ways of travelling actively.

Delivered by the charity CoMoUK through the Paths for All’s Smarter Choices, Smarter Places Fund, the pop-up hubs project aims to make active travel easier, more accessible and visible by combining shared transport facilities with community friendly features. The Hubs also aim to reduce dependency on private car use by encouraging walking and cycling for the local communities everyday journeys.

• Bike repair stand, tools and pump
• Textured access ramp
• Selection of plants and shrubs
• Totem and QR code with local transport information
• Accessible seating area with coffee table

Each hub was designed to be portable and modular, breaking down into three equal sections for simple transport and reassembly as they move between Scottish communities.

The pop-up mobility hubs were designed to be flexible, inclusive, and community-focused. Each installation combines active travel infrastructure with inviting public realm features, creating spaces that are easy to move, set up, and use across different neighbourhoods.
