BEIJING Herre Adidas Ultra Boost Grå Hvid Tilbud Danmark , July 30 (Xinhua) -- The World Bank has decided to allocate a fund for seven Chinese major cities to help them ease traffic congestion by reducing the number of private cars on the road and improving public transport.

A total of 32.73 million U.S. dollars will be granted to cities including Beijing, Tianjin, Ningbo, Nanchang and Shenzhen via the institution's trust-funded program on environmental protection Adidas Ultra Boost Grå Sølv Tilbud Danmark , named the Global Environment Facility (GEF).

The international lender said the fund would be used to pilot transit-oriented development (TOD), an urban planning concept that integrates land use and transport.

"It focuses on compact, mixed-use, pedestrian and bicycle-friendly development around transit stations that can help reverse the trend of car-dependent city sprawl Herre Adidas Ultra Boost Rød Tilbud Danmark , improve air quality and reduce road congestion," said Fang Wanli, the bank's urban economist and project co-leader.

FRAMINGHAM， United States， Dec. 1 (Xinhua) -- The growth in worldwide smartphone shipments is expected to grow at a nearly flat rate in 2016， while shipments of 4G smartphones remain robust， according to research firm International Data Corp. (IDC).

Global smartphone shipments are expected to reach 1.45 billion units， with a year-on-year growth rate of 0.6 percent in 2016， down sharply from a 10.4-percent increase in 2015， the latest forecast from the IDC Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker released Tuesday showed.

The sluggish growth forecast is partly due to an estimated 11-percent decrease in shipments of Apple's iPhone， IDC data showed.

All signs point to 2016 being the first full year of declining shipments for Apple's iPhone， which held 14.3 percent of the global smartphone market share this year， said the IDC.

However， global 4G smartphone shipments are still expected to show double-digit growth at 21.3 percent year on year， reaching 1.17 billion units， up from 967 million in 2015， said the IDC.

Much of this growth is coming from emerging markets like Asia-Pacific excluding Japan， Latin America， Central and Eastern Europe， and the Middle East and Africa， where only 61 percent of 2015 smartphone shipments were 4G-enabled， compared to IDC's 2016 projection of 77 percent.

Due to expensive 4G data tariffs and handsets， it has been a "long slog" for 4G uptake in many emerging markets， said Melissa Chau， associate research director with the IDC's Worldwide Mobile Device Trackers.

However， the situation has changed quickly in key growth markets like India where a new operator is aggressively trying to shake up the market by handing out free 4G sim cards and launching own-branded low-cost 4G-enabled. Cheap Jerseys China   Cheap Jerseys China   Cheap Jerseys Wholesale China   Cheap NFL Jerseys China   Cheap NCAA Football Jerseys   Cheap NBA Jerseys   Wholesale Soccer Jerseys Cheap   Wholesale New NHL Jerseys   Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys   Wholesale College Jerseys China
