“Affordable housing is critical, and of vital importance to people, but helping grow that community and laying deep roots is what keeps a community grounded and sustainable for future generations,” says John A.

When in full production, the garden is expected to yield more than $43,000 worth of produce a growing season, which will be made available to residents at the five buildings. More than 2,000 vegetable plants were brought in to supplement the 500 or so plants that were started from seed earlier this year. The infrastructure of the project is comprised of a 1,402-square-foot green roof, a 3,675-square-foot community garden with raised-bed planters, 2,775 square feet of gravel, permeable pagers with underlying storage area and eight water storage barrels.

“In addition to supporting gardens like this one through our grant program, DEP’s Green Infrastructure Program will transform the city’s streetscapes as we begin to install the first of thousands of specially designed curbside gardens that will not only manage storm water, but beautify neighborhoods as well.” “Investing in green infrastructure is a cost-effective way to improve the health of New York City’s local waterways, but it also brings many additional benefits to communities including a greener landscape, cleaner air, increased shade and cooler temperatures during the summer,” says DEP Commissioner Emily Lloyd. An additional community grant totaling $100,000 was awarded to Banana Kelly by TD Bank. Kelly Street Green was made possible largely in part to a $237,000 grand that WHG applied for and received from the DEP. The project also includes a rain harvesting system that is capable of capturing up to 13,500 gallons of water at a time or as much as 250,000 gallons annually, helping to reduce runoff into the East River. Situated in the backyard spaces of the buildings located at 916, 920, 924 and 928 Kelly Street, the garden includes 13,000 square feet of landscaped space, which includes raised beds for fruit and vegetable production. Meituan has now completed the preliminary development stages for its drones and dispatching systems, with over 90% of its core systems and components developed in house.New York-The New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), Workforce Housing Group (WHG), Grow NYC, Banana Kelly Community Improvement Association, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and other partners recently unveiled Kelly Street Green urban garden, which marked the final component of an extensive rehabilitation of five Hunts Point-Longwood area Bronx buildings. “Our efforts reflect Meituan’s hopes to use inclusive technology and innovation to help people live better.”Īs of June 2021, Meituan’s drones have completed over 200,000 flight tests and delivered over 2,500 orders. “Low-altitude logistics networks in urban areas will present an important growth opportunity for innovation and technology over the coming 10 to 20 years,” said Puzhong Wang, Meituan Senior Vice President and head of the company’s on-demand delivery business.
Meituan also used drones to deliver vital supplies to residents in Shenzhen’s Nanshan district who were isolated by a COVID-induced quarantine. Meituan began exploring drone delivery opportunities in 2017, and in early 2021 its efforts reached a milestone when its drones performed last-mile meal deliveries to customers in Shenzhen. The three-pronged network of drones, ground support infrastructure (landing ports, battery changing stations), and cloud-based dispatching systems will aim to achieve 15-minute delivery time for destinations within a three kilometer radius. “This network would enable us to adapt to different delivery scenarios across residential communities, shopping malls, office buildings, etc.,” said Yinian Mao, head of Meituan’s drone delivery unit.
This center will run pilot operations for an urban low-altitude logistics network, the first of its kind to be established in China. In collaboration with the local government, Meituan will explore opportunities for the construction of a demonstration center in Shanghai. Meituan also demonstrated how drones and delivery riders could conceivably work together to deliver orders. Chinese e-commerce platform for services Meituan has introduced a new, self-developed drone model and announced plans for a drone logistics network pilot program at the 2021 World Artificial Intelligence Conference.
