The signing ceremony took place during Dr. Clos\u2019 recent visit to Chengdu.<\/p>\n<p>UN-Habitat and Mobike are looking forward to this collaboration to make urban cycling more accessible, popular, and smart while contributing to a sustainable future of our cities. The MoU provides a framework for cooperation within which the organizations will work together on promotion and implementation of bike share systems around the world but also to co-research on big data for accurate travel pattern analysis for urban and transport planning purposes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBikesharing\u201d can be an effective solution in cities that are facing increasing congestion and air pollution. Mobike is using innovative technology to make cycling the most convenient and environmentally-friendly transport choice for urban residents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUsing specially designed bikes equipped with GPS and proprietary smart-lock technology, Mobike enables users of a smartphone app to find a bike near them, reserve and unlock it, all using their smartphones. After reaching their destination, the user parks the bike by the roadside and locks it, automatically making the bike available to the next rider. \u201cInnovative solutions such as those introduced by Mobike are very relevant to the New Urban Agenda and a new paradigm of urban mobility\u201d said Dr. Clos.<\/p>\n<p>In the course of the event, UN-Habitat\u2019s Executive Director tried out one of the latest Mobike bicycles and appreciated its comfort and safety as well as the use of innovative technology to get the bikes back to the city.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a hre=\"http:\/\/guardian.ng\/property\/un-habitat-mobike-sign-deal-on-bike-sharing-for-cities-sustainable-transport-solution\/\"> Guardian <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Executive Director, UN-Habitat, Dr. Joan Clos The Executive Director of UN-Habitat, Dr. Joan Clos, and Mr. &hellip; <a title=\"UN-Habitat, Mobike sign deal on bike sharing for cities sustainable transport solution\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/un-habitat-mobike-sign-deal-on-bike-sharing-for-cities-sustainable-transport-solution\/\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">UN-Habitat, Mobike sign deal on bike sharing for cities sustainable transport solution<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5326,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[4],"tags":[41],"class_list":["post-5933","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-opportunities-in-new-markets","tag-property"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/566103.jpg?fit=1280%2C720&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":6814,"url":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/un-habitat-partners-launch-urban-pathway-project\/","url_meta":{"origin":5933,"position":0},"title":"UN-Habitat, partners launch urban pathway project","author":"Amazing Property","date":"October 30, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"Executive Director, UN-Habitat, Dr. Joan ClosUN-HABITAT, together with its partners, the Wuppertal Institute of Climate, Energy and Environment and UN Environment launched the \u201c Urban Pathways-Supporting Low Carbon Plans for basic services in Germany.
