About

Metro Minute is a fast, modern publication spotlighting the people, ideas, and ventures shaping the future of cities.

We cover urban changemakers — from neighborhood coffee shop owners introducing mobile ordering to civic startups improving how local governments work. Whether it’s a breakthrough in public transit, a micro-retail pop-up, or a founder shaking up their block, if it’s redefining city life, it belongs here.

Our Mission

We believe cities are living systems — shaped every day by small innovations and bold ideas. Our mission is to highlight those efforts and give voice to the builders, creatives, and local leaders transforming urban life.

Metro Minute delivers short-form, high-impact stories that are quick to read but rich in insight. It’s media that respects your time, celebrates your city, and helps amplify the work being done in the places we live, work, and gather.
