Velo-city Global Adelaide 2014
European Cyclists’ Federation’s Velo-city series of conferences is widely considered as the premier international planning conferences on cycling.
The conferences are designed to encourage cycling as part of daily transport and recreation. Velo-city began in 1980 in Bremen, Germany with deep ties in the founding of the European Cyclists’ Federation. Since then conferences have been held in cities including Copenhagen, Brussels, Barcelona and Montreal. Velo-city conferences are now attracting about 1,000 delegates from more than 50 different countries.
The Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) are launching their new initiative “German Partnership for Sustainable Mobility” (GPSM). The GPSM is serving as a guide for sustainable mobility and green logistics solutions from Germany.
