The World Expo has always been an important boost to the economic and social development of the host country, and it can even bring a new round of regional economic take-off. This has become common sense. 1970 The Osaka World Expo has greatly promoted Japan's economic restructuring and national economic growth. Seville Expo 1992 has made the relatively backward areas in southern Spain develop rapidly. The 2000 World Expo in Hanover, Germany, promoted the economic recovery of Lower Saxony.

Hosting the Shanghai World Expo will provide a rare opportunity for China's economy to overcome difficulties and help the world get out of the financial crisis as soon as possible. Facing the challenge of the financial crisis, the world has placed more hopes on the Shanghai World Expo. Luo Cetus, secretary-general of the Bureau of International Expositions, said: "All countries can take this opportunity to get together, face the global crisis together, carry out global cooperation and promote the common development of the whole world." The theme of Expo 2010 1933 in Chicago is "Progress in a Century", which discusses how to deal with the Great Depression in 1930s, so that people all over the world can see a bright future and get out of the shadow of the Great Depression. Now, the Shanghai World Expo will be a worldwide historical moment. Countries around the world can use the World Expo as a platform to discuss countermeasures, form a sense of * * * and deal with the crisis.

Hosting the World Expo will bring about the exchange, collision and integration of cultural ideas, promote the development of China's cultural and creative industries, and promote the promotion of the country's "soft power". Throughout the history of the World Expo, it is not difficult to find that the spiritual heritage left by the World Expo is far greater than the material heritage.
According to the arrangement of the Organizing Committee, all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities will fully participate in the Shanghai World Expo, including exhibitions, forums and various activities held in the Expo Park, and participate in exchanges and promotion, audience organization, ticket promotion and sales, market development and other related work.

In addition, the "Activity Week" of Shanghai World Expo will become the focus of many media. It is hoped that all localities will make full preparations, make good use of media resources and push the participation activities to a climax.
Although the main purpose of Expo is to discuss and solve the problems faced by human development, it also provides a good platform for economic and trade cooperation and scientific and technological exchanges. Shanghai World Expo not only discusses the concept of urban development, but also pays attention to the achievements and development prospects of exhibitors in economy, science and technology and culture. Through the World Expo, all localities learn successful development concepts, understand cutting-edge science and technology, explore and promote their own advantages, carry out economic and trade cooperation, and promote their own economic and social development.
