1. Challenge:
The mini city will create tons of trash.
Solution:
To streamline disposal, Hudson Yards will use a special vacuum system. Waste will travel at 43 mph through 1.5 miles of underground tubing to a central terminal. "We're not putting garbage on the sidewalk like usual," says Jay Cross, president of Hudson Yards' lead developer, Related Companies. "This is cleaner, and we're doing it on a very large scale."

As a frequent visitor to NYC, the curbside trash system is one of my very few peeves of the city. While I love the density you get in a city without alleys, it's really nice when trash remains out of sight and out of smell. This innovation is impressive.
