1. The first registered World Expo held in a developing country.
There are two kinds of World Expositions under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of International Exhibitions, one is professional, the other is registered, also called comprehensive. 1999 Kunming World Expo Major, 20 10 Shanghai World Expo Comprehensive. Usually, the professional World Expo is held for a short time, usually 3 months; Small scale, small park; The displayed field is narrow and concentrated in a certain field. Generally speaking, the comprehensive Expo is large in scale, long in duration, wide in discussion field and fierce in bidding. The 2000 Hanover World Expo, the 2005 Aichi World Expo and the Shanghai World Expo are all registered world expositions. Since the end of the 20th century, the Bureau of International Exhibitions has stipulated that registered world expositions should be held every five years.
This is the first time to be held in the central city of a very big city.
The site of the Shanghai World Expo is located in the nanpu bridge-Lupu Bridge area, across the Huangpu River, which is the first time in the history of the World Expo to be held in the central city of a megacity.
3. The first World Expo with the theme of "city"
The theme of Shanghai World Expo is "Better City, Better Life". There are also several sub-themes, including "the interaction between cities and villages". I chose this theme mainly because I hope all the exhibitors can discuss the urbanization problems facing the world and various problems in urban development, such as pollution, traffic, employment and so on.
4. The park area is the first.
The park has a planned total area of 5.28 square kilometers and a fenced area of 3.28 square kilometers. This also makes the Shanghai World Expo the largest single relocation project since the liberation of Shanghai. There are more than 8400 relocated residents/kloc-0 in the park, and more than 270 relocated units.
5. It is estimated that the exhibition scale will be the first.
The initial exhibition target of Shanghai World Expo is 200 countries and international organizations. The largest number of participating countries and international organizations in history was the 2000 Hanover World Expo, with a total of 170 countries and international organizations participating. As of May 30th, 2008, 72 countries and 33 international organizations have confirmed their participation. Among them, including the diplomatic relations of non-seven countries.
6. The number of tourists is expected to be the first.
The estimated number of tourists is 70 million. The largest number of visitors in history was the Osaka World Expo in 1970, with 64 million people.
7. Create the urban best practice area for the first time.
In order to highlight the theme of the city, the Shanghai World Expo has planned a 15 hectare urban best practice area, which focuses on the latest practice of modern urban development. Provide a platform for city representatives from all over the world to exchange experiences in urban construction and development. Enriched the participants and forms of the Expo.
8. Opening the online exhibition for the first time.
Mr. Luo Cetus, Secretary-General of the Bureau of International Exhibitions, said: "The live experience, face-to-face communication, active atmosphere, interaction between people, enjoyment of sight, hearing and taste, and leisure experience of the World Expo are irreplaceable by the Internet." If used well, the Internet can not only replace the live exhibition of the Expo, but also serve the Expo, help the organizers and exhibitors publicize the Expo and enhance its influence. It can help visitors get information more conveniently, make reservations and guide their visits, and also help visitors interact with exhibitors to enhance the interest and experience of the Expo.
The Shanghai World Expo will work together with the exhibitors, make use of the advantages of the Internet, realize the linkage between the physical Expo and the online exhibition, strengthen the interaction with the audience, and let more people around the world have the opportunity to participate in the Shanghai World Expo.
The main leaders of Shanghai put forward the guiding spirit of "low-key, pragmatic and correct" for the propaganda work of Shanghai World Expo. Let everyone know these goals clearly, and have a clear understanding of the situation and tasks of running the Expo, so as to make every effort to prepare.
