McKinsey's NYC garbage can report

it's... trash

This McKinsey deliverable is trash. Literally.

New York City gave McKinsey $4 million to figure out if trash would be better inside trash cans. They call this something much fancier — containerization.

We’ll let yo be the judge of whether it was worth it or not. Here are some of our favorite slides from the report, and the link to see the whole thing is at the bottom.

We liked this one because the pictures bring each city’s strategy to life….

OK fine, we just like pictures.

This is such a classic consulting slide. Clients love tables :)

This was wild to us. The takeaway here is that NYC should get rid of ~10% of all the parking spaces in the city to be able ‘containerize’ 89% of the residential streets. Less parking in NYC sounds like a tough proposition for residents.

Those are three of our favorites. Go read the whole report here.
