Taipei to showcase wireless, recycling success in China

Taipei’s success in creating a wireless city and promoting recycling will be showcased at the World Expo Shanghai 2010, a Taipei City Government official said in Shanghai yesterday.

Tuo Tzung-hua (脫宗華), deputy director-general of the city’s Department of Urban Development, signed a participation contract with Hong Hau, director-general of the Bureau of the Shanghai World Expo Coordination in Shanghai earlier in the day.

Taipei will showcase its achievements in the two areas under the expo’s subtheme of “Urban Best Practices Area,” which will provide a platform for world cities to share good examples in coping with the problems of urbanization.

Taipei Mayor Hau Lung-bin (郝龍斌) and Shanghai Mayor Han Zheng (韓正) were also present.

Hau said that for the wireless city exhibition, Taipei would demonstrate its success in creating a wireless city that allows residents to attend to day-to-day tasks via the city’s ubiquitous Internet service.

As for recycling, the city will display its efforts in waste management as well as its recycling equipment and facilities, Hau said.
