World Expo 2010 Shanghai

ShanghaiView The next World Expo will take place in Shanghai, China, from the 1st of May 2010 until the 31st of October 2010. The 6-month milestone event will showcase the most innovative urban concepts through the ‘Better City, Better Life’ theme, with all eyes focusing on the Chinese/Asian way of sustainable urban development.

Located in the heart of the new city, on both side of the HuangPu River, the Expo will gather 50 international organisations and more than 170 countries, with around 40 European countries (and 25 EU cities) represented and all concerned about a multicultural and sustainable World.

In fact, the 2010 Shanghai World Expo should be a large scale, global, non-commercial Expo aiming to promote the exchange of ideas and development of the world economy, culture, science and technology, to allow exhibitors to display their achievements and improve international relationships.

2010Shanghai.eu

This unofficial website, www.2010shanghai.eu, aims to gather information in order to draw attention on the Shanghai World Expo, and to eventually enhance understanding between all nations and organizations represented. The main objective of the website is also to present and introduce Europe and the European Pavilions to the Chinese and International audience of the World Expo, with a special focus on innovation and sustainable development. Feel free to check the latest News and Events and don’t forget to browse the UBPA projects led by European cities and public governments.

European cities in UBPA

The UBPA will offer cities from around the world a global stage to propose solutions to urban issues based on their own experience and history.

Cities will be able to do this though exhibits that showcase their unique initiatives on various urban questions related to the quality of life, sustainable development, protection of historical heritage and technological innovations in cities.
