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. This book examines how the expo addressed the pressing challenges of the 21st century under the theme "Better City, Better Life." 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.
