OUR_HUB
A COMMUNITY PLATFORM TURNING OBJECTS INTO HYPERLOCAL EXPERIENCES & BRINGING PEOPLE CLOSER TOGETHER.
OURHUB encourages people to go offline and connect with others through local meet-ups and communal experiences. Considering the increasing loneliness in cities, despite advanced digital, social networks, OURHUB starts conversations, cultivating liveable cities and improving urban togetherness.
An OURHUB is a hyperlocal community — controlled by your smartphone. It uses objects to create shared experiences, allowing people to connect around common interests. OURHUB brings attention to the social aspect of the sharing economy — where it’s more than a business model. Sharing to reduce loneliness, get rid of segregation, and bring people closer together in real life.
With OURHUB you can discover the value of third places and meet new friends. It allows you to turn any vacant, third space into a shared community. From playing croquet in a public park, to urban gardening for kids. Let’s reclaim public spaces together!
