mHUB identifies coordination as biggest infrastructure hurdle for urban manufacturing

• mHUB's urban manufacturing analysis identifies coordination across ownership structures and regulatory jurisdictions as the biggest infrastructure challenge, rather than technology.
• More than 150 challenge applications suggest industrial demand could outweigh capital constraints, policy uncertainty and rising costs.
• Shared district infrastructure requires new governance and investment models; interconnected systems offer greater value than isolated assets.
• Urban space constraints favor higher-density energy storage and distributed generation to expand capacity within existing footprints.
• Permitting barriers and limited demonstration sites hinder commercialization; industrial testbeds and flexible policies could help technologies scale.
