Description

Explore the massive scale and impact of the 2010 Shanghai Expo through this Routledge publication. As one of the largest and most expensive world fairs in history, the event attracted 73 million visitors and cost approximately USUSD45 billion.

With more than half of the global population now residing in urban environments, many of which face uncertain futures, this text provides a deep look into how mega events shape our understanding of urban development.
