• Expo 2010 Shanghai - Editor, 17 December 2009

Starting on May 1 and running through to October 31, Expo 2010 Shanghai has as its theme “Better City, Better Life”, drawing attention to the fact that all over the world humankind has a desire for better living conditions. It is estimated that in the early 1800s around 2 percent of the global population lived in cities, a situation which has changed dramatically, with the United Nations estimating that by 2010 at least 55 percent of the global population will be living in urban areas. Faced with the continual shift toward urbanization, the international community recognizes the need for future policy making, sustainable development and urban strategies.
