Taipei, Nantes Mayor, ECF Ink MOU on Sustainable City Development
As the future host of Velo-city Global in 2016, Taipei City Government dispatched a 30-member delegation led by Deputy Mayor Chou Li-fang to France to promote the event on June 3.
The city of Nantes in France is the host city of the Velo-city 2015.
The Velo-city Global is an event hosted by bicycle-friendly cities around the world. Past hosts include Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Vienna, and Vancouver.
Members of the delegation met with the Chairman of European Cyclists’ Federation (ECF) Manfred Neun at the booth promoting Velo-city 2016 Taipei. They invited dignitaries – including the mayors of Copenhagen and Amsterdam – to attend the event taking place between February 27 and March 1, 2016, at the island’s capital city.
During the World Cycling Alliance Annual General Meeting, Chairman Neun also extended Taipei’s invitation to the attending members.
The Velo-city 2016 Taipei will take place alongside the International Cycle Show 2016 (slated for March 2 through 5) and the Taipei stop competition of the 2016 Tour de Taiwan (March 6).
