What If A Plasma Ball Breaks?
Velocity, he started a global network of cities for cyclists.
(Lello Sforza - from Copenhagen)
Concluded the World Conference on Mobility cycling Meeting in Seville for the Velo-City 2011 and Vancouver edition With a bye in 2012 in Seville, where he will be held in March 2011, the next international conference Velo-City and Vancouver (Canada) for the world edition of 2012, ended the summit "global" mobility chassis held in the Danish capital from 22 June 25, at the initiative of the European Cyclists' Federation with the cities of Copenhagen and Frederisksberg.
actively participated in the Conference - including plenary sessions, forums, roundtables, meetings, "one to one" - politicians, planners, transported, philosophers, sociologists, planners, cicloecologisti, journalists from all continents who have also interacted them in a full immersion overall. Over one thousand participants. Italians were enough to count the fingers of both hands. These include even a public administrator, an elected representative or public institutions. It 'was a series of presentations of good practices and results of surveys and research, exchange of ideas and experiences but also new business activities related to bikes. As if at a particular time of great economic and financial crisis, the world of cycling, from planning services, knows no crisis. Really a good omen!
The slogan was: cycling improves the quality of the city, is an essential part of the solutions to climate change and the reduction of CO2 emissions, leads to sustainable lifestyles in the field of transport, without a doubt reduces energy consumption. Because "green economy" can not exist without "green mobility" and the latter with no cycling mobility. Which, integrated with public transport and community in its different combinations (train, tram, bus, car sharing, car pooling, taxis) promotes the development of an urban and metropolitan freed from dependence, and misuse of private .
And to say that Copenhagen, former queen of the bicycle, hosted the World Summit on the transport cycle, Thursday, June 24 over two thousand cyclists marched through the streets of the city in a big "bike parade". Leading the procession of bikes ECF President Manfred Neun and the Mayor of the Municipal Administration of Technology and Environment in Copenhagen, Bo Asmus Kjeldgaard. The parade was very festive: located along the caravan of cyclists and carried on a number of risks, groups and bands have played and sung by attracting the attention of the citizens who liked to stop traffic. Determinants, then, in the procession of bikes, cargo bikes in Denmark, as in other northern European countries, are pervasive as a bike for transportation of all kinds: from shopping, children, people.
During the Conference has been raised by the President of the ECF, Mandred Neun, the network "Cities for Cyclists", the network of cities committed to promoting policies for cycling and sustainable transport. The ECF initiative, initially launched at European level, given the vision of "global" view of the bicycle as a means of urban transport of the future was re-launched an intercontinental level. The proposal was immediately welcomed by many public officials present at the conference, not only addressed to the cities, but at all levels of government. Welcome, then, the membership also by provinces, departments, counties, regions. The network "Cities for Cyclists", coordinated by the ECF - which has been confirmed as the first international organization for the promotion of cycling mobility - will facilitate contacts and relationships between all actors in the policy of cycling.
