Happy #WorldCitiesDay!
Cities are the heartbeats of progress, where ideas, cultures, and futures connect. Building on the legacy of #Expo2010 Shanghai, Expos celebrate the power of urban spaces to drive positive change and bring the world together.
#Expo2010 Shanghai welcomed 70 million people to discover the future of urban living. 15 years later, I am astounded by the scale of Shanghai’s green and integrated urban transformation – from the Shanghai Expo Cultural Park to a city that celebrates both its past & future
A pleasure to meet Mrs Liu Duo, Vice Mayor of Shanghai, to discuss urban renewal and the deep connection between the city and World Expos. Shanghai’s transformation since #Expo2010 has been exemplary, and the World Expo Museum fully brings its story to life
#Expo2010 Shanghai continues to shape its host city & drive global exchange on urban living. 15 years after it opened, what is the living legacy of the "Better City, Better Life" World Expo? bit.ly/3GyOqtN

A person on a bicycle is visible in the distance to the right. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
Top view of a complex and geometric concrete inner courtyard. Several levels can be seen with intersecting corridors, staircases, and balustrades creating an intricate architectural structure. The concrete is gray and looks rough. The atmosphere is modern and minimalist.
