Connect cities and empower communities with innovative Mobility Hubs
Mobility hubs integrate sustainable travel with urban greening to create safe, attractive and accessible public spaces. Designed to reduce car dependency, they bring together walking, cycling, shared mobility and public transport options with green infrastructure.
Our high-quality installations are tailored to the specific needs of each location, helping to connect communities, cut emissions, and encourage healthier travel behaviours - all while adding pockets of nature to our urban areas.
Benefits
Blending innovation, design, and functionality, our mobility hubs deliver wide-ranging environmental and social benefits. They improve accessibility, encourage active and sustainable travel, and support air quality and climate resilience goals. By enhancing public transport and enriching the urban environment, they create recognisable, adaptable spaces for local communities.
Boosts active and sustainable travel
Mobility hubs encourage the switch to low-carbon transport options by providing secure bike parking, e-scooter docking and wayfinding signage that supports walking, cycling and public transport.
Improves local air quality
By supporting alternatives to car use and integrating green infrastructure like planters and rain gardens, mobility hubs help to reduce emissions and absorb airborne pollutants.
Creates greener, safer streets
Well-designed hubs calm traffic and enhance safety through improved visibility, pedestrian priority design, and natural elements that soften hard, grey urban environments.
Supports community connection
These welcoming public spaces promote social interaction, provide rest points for travellers, and serve as hubs of local information, activity and environmental education.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are mobility hubs customisable?
Yes. Each hub is tailored to local needs, space availability and priorities, such as biodiversity enhancement, accessibility, or branding for business improvement districts.
What features can be included in a mobility hub?
Standard features can include cycle parking, rain gardens, green screens, seating, digital or physical signage, e-bike/e-scooter docks and community noticeboards.
Can mobility hubs help reduce congestion and pollution?
Yes – by promoting active travel and integrating transport options, they reduce reliance on private vehicles and improve local air quality.
Who uses mobility hubs?
They are designed for a wide range of users including commuters, residents, students and visitors – encouraging walking, cycling and public transport use.
What are the benefits of a mobility hub?
Mobility hubs improve access to sustainable transport, reduce car dependency, enhance public realm aesthetics, and support climate and air quality goals.
What is a mobility hub?
A mobility hub is a multifunctional space that integrates green infrastructure with active travel options like bike parking, e-scooter docks and seating, often supported by wayfinding and planting.
How does urban greening contribute to combatting climate change?
Urban greening is a potent weapon against the escalating threats of climate change. Green spaces, including trees and vegetation, act as carbon sinks, absorbing and storing harmful CO2 emissions. They also combat the urban heat island effect by providing shade and cooling through evapotranspiration. Moreover, green spaces play a role in filtering air pollutants and improving overall air quality. These combined benefits not only make cities more liveable but also contribute to global efforts to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change. Projects like Richmond Road Pocket Park showcase the transformative power of urban greening, highlighting its crucial role in creating sustainable and resilient urban environments.
Local authorities
Mobility hubs support sustainable transport goals by combining green infrastructure with active travel options. They improve accessibility, reduce emissions and enhance the public realm through placemaking and sustainable transport links.
Education
Mobility hubs near campuses encourage students and staff to walk, cycle or use public transport whilst fostering social interaction. These green, multifunctional spaces promote safety, health and climate action through travel behaviour change.
BIDs
Well-placed mobility hubs improve accessibility and footfall in BID areas. By integrating bike storage, e-scooter docks, planting and signage, they support greener travel and contribute to cleaner, more welcoming streets.
Commercial
For businesses and developments, mobility hubs offer visible commitments to sustainability. They enhance access, reduce car dependency and improve site aesthetics with integrated greening.
