#chicago is the 3rd largest economy in the US and one of the best cities for urban design, architecture and urban transit inc. great use of its river and the mighty elevated rail - the Chicago "L". Our founder Ricky Sandhu was up close to it last week. Once voted as being one of the "seven wonders" of Chicago (for obvious reasons), it is now in need of significant upgrades. That's why together with our publicly announced projects in #Dubai (UAE), #Luanda (Angola) Africa - we are doubling down our efforts in the US. The US needs more efficient, accessible and better quality urban transit - just like the Chicago "L" but a lighter, cleaner, more agile version - that's #floc. More to come soon!

Our Founder Ricky Sandhu joined an exclusive Energy Transition event held at PwC London yesterday, alongside panelists from Hitachi ZeroCarbon, National Grid and Naturgy. With a select invite list of investors, representing over £1 trillion of Assets Under Management - it was a unique & privileged opportunity to discuss how urban.MASS is tackling global transport emissions as part of the energy transition directly with some of the biggest investors - interested in new technologies. Ricky said: "I spent 20 years during my Corporate career at the worlds leading architecture and design firms inc Gensler & Foster + Partners tackling building emissions (12% of global emissions), but we are now solely focussed on the bigger problem of transport emissions (29% of global emissions) with the breakthrough technology we are building at Urban.MASS".

This felt like a seminal moment.... We love working with Atelier One our preferred engineering partners for #floc #DuoRail system. With our fundraising advancing so is our Detailed Design Development and at this session we further slashed the costs of our DuoRail infrastructure. Why is this important? ➡ From already dramatically lower cost per/km compared to incumbent systems such as Monorail, Lightrail, APM we now have a next-generation design that reduces the cost even further - the biggest barrier for cities to accommodate the energy transition with zero emission transit solutions - and provide a sleeker and less visually intrusive design. Good job guys! Watch this space for the new design!! In the meantime - join the next generation by reading more here! https://lnkd.in/d9hShCy7 #engineering #engineers #hardware #technology #masstransit #monorail #lightrail #verylightrail #apm #airports #seamlessjourney Aran Chadwick Christopher Matthews Floww Kemeny Capital UK Investor Magazine
