World Expo 2010 was hosted in Shanghai China:  an event designed to explore the full potential of urban life in the 21st century. Fifty-five percent of the world’s population lives in cities/urban environments. The prospect of future urban life, a subject of global interest, concerns all nations, developed or less developed, and their people. Being the first World Exposition on the theme of city, Exposition 2010 attracted governments and people from across the world, focusing on the theme “Better City, Better Life.” For its 184 days, participants displayed urban civilization to the full extent, exchange their experiences of urban development, disseminate advanced notions on cities and explore new approaches to human habitat, lifestyle and working conditions in the new century. They will learn how to create an eco-friendly society and maintain the sustainable development of human beings.
