Quang Nam (VNA) – A seminardiscussing a project on the use of bicycles in the ancient city of Hoi An ofthe central province of Quang Nam was held in the city on October 24.

The event was organised by authoritiesof the city, the Health Bridge Canada in Vietnam and the German Corporation forInternational Cooperation (GIZ).

At the seminar, participants discussedpolicies on non-motorised transportation in Hoi An, along with experiences inusing bicycles as the main vehicle in some cities around the world. They alsoassessed opportunities and challenges of the city’s bicycle development plan.

Over the years, Hoi An has committedto building itself into an eco friendly city to preserve its historical andcultural values. The city has encouraged walking and the use of bicycles andpublic transport.

However, many motorcycles are stillin use in Hoi An due to a lack of policies and road infrastructure forbicycles.

Vice Chairman of the Hoi An People’sCommittee Nguyen Van Son said the project will devise policies to popularisethe use of bicycles in the city.

The city will call on the privatesector, including restaurants, hotels and tourism service operators, to get involved.

Previously, Hoi An and the HealthBridge Canada in Vietnam joined hands to devise the project on the use ofbicycle for transportation in the city, which later received an award from theGerman government on global urban transportation this May, as well as sponsorshipworth 4 billion VND (171,360 USD) to launch the project.-VNA

Other localities—such as Hai Phong, Da Nang, Binh Duong, and Ho Chi Minh City—have also effectively implemented waste-sorting initiatives at source, along with models for plastic-free markets and urban areas.
