The city of Btemen, Germany, will explore urban mobility solutions in the Urban Best Practices Area exhibition at Shanghai World Expo.

Bremen, which has also confirmed it will take part in the Expo Shanghai Online showcase, signed a participation contract with organizers yesterday.

The proposal "From knowledge to innovation : Urban mobility solutions" involves an innovative program that allows people to rent vehicles that fit their needs at any time with a smart carf to curb the excessive use of private cars hitting the streets. It falls into UBPA's "Livable City" section.

Heiner Heseler, deputy minister of economic affairs and ports of Bremen, said the city would display its plans in urban transport, football and ecological development.

Bai Wenhua, chairman of Shanghai World Expo Land Holding Co, Ltd, said Bremen's case was a good response to the issue of intelligent sustainable urban mobility and would certainly attract a large number of visitors.
