" Creativity!
I am looking forward to see and make more creative proposals to help the vulnerable people or realize several justice with diverse cultures background teammates. The ideas and proposals should not be general and usual but should be innovative and practical to reach the goals and solve issues. And really hope that I can get some inspiration from the Millennium Fellowship and my teammates. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Urban Sustainable Cycling Etiquette Initiative
Passionate about tackling challenges linked to the rapid growth of bike-sharing services in Shanghai, we aim to address the social and environmental issues stemming from this expansion. Safety concerns prevail due to haphazard parking, theft, accidents, and traffic violations, particularly among young riders. Moreover, the environmental impact, including production, energy use, and bike disposal, poses
sustainability challenges. To combat these issues, we advocate for community awareness programs on safe biking practices and collaborate with environmental
organizations for responsible bike disposal. Drawing inspiration from successful models like Hangzhou's bike-sharing system, we seek to implement similar strategies in Shanghai. Additionally, we actively engage with bike-sharing apps to report issues, encouraging responsible bike usage. Our goal is to ensure a safer, more environmentally friendly, and efficient bike-sharing system in Shanghai through innovative and sustainable solutions.
