MODA Vi Mission
The Vision of MODA Vi
Our mission is to revitalize the world's cities.
To restore civic pride in towns and metropolises alike.
To uplift those already uplifting others.
To clean, to beautify, and to dignify the places we call home.
To remind the world that good cities don't just happen, they are built.
Born out of a desire to help local fashion designers sell within their own neighborhoods, and to keep the city clean by organizing park cleanups in New York, MODA Vi began as a collaboration between an attorney, an economist, a software engineer, designers, and researchers. Instead of waiting on policy, the team focused on solving urban problems directly through services, software, and infrastructure designed for independent businesses, especially those priced out of traditional systems or too busy to access them.
