Book Description

“The Shanghai World Expo will be the biggest one ever [and it will show] the vigor, dynamic, and development direction of this big Oriental country. This would be my biggest dream for the year 2010.”-Francois Confino, French Exhibition Designer, from www.expo2010china.com “This book is a preview of the grand 2010 Shanghai World Expo, and will give the readers an immediate sense of how Shanghai, an Asian metropolis, is ambitiously and excitingly strategizing its own future.”-Jiang Huancheng, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences “I believe Shanghai will present a magnificent exposition to the world. The great event… will prove what China can do for the world and for the cause of international expositions.”-Vincent Gonzales Loscertales, General-Secretary of the Bureau of International Expositions, from news.xinhuanet.com “An exposition in Shanghai will present enormous chances for the city to improve environment, to develop tourism, to be more motivated. The whole world will also benefit from it.”-Gilles Noghes, Former President of the Bureau of International Expositions, from news.xinhuanet.com “The advantage of an Expo is that people of different races and cultures, from different countries and having different religious beliefs, get together for the one purpose of seeking mutual understanding, friendship and cooperation.”-Wu Jianmin, President of the Bureau of International Expositions, from www.bie-paris.org This is the only book on the 2010 World Expo endorsed by the Bureau of Shanghai World Expo Coordination.
