World Expo - ''2010'' Shanghai China (28th May, 2010)

Shanghai's Expo is likely to be the largest World's Fair ever, with some 70 million visitors expected to attend in the six months before it closes on Oct. 31. It's certainly China's biggest event since the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

The huge international show-and-tell will showcase China's status as a world industrial power, giving Shanghai — its biggest city — a long-awaited chance to show off its stunning transformation from crumbling factory town into modern global metropolis.

In this age of virtual reality and round-the-clock information overload, visitors to the Shanghai World Expo are unlikely to find here the kinds of brand new technologies, such as television, that debuted at world's fairs decades ago.

But governments, groups and corporate sponsors, spread over 2 square miles (5.28 square kilometers) along both sides of the concrete banks of the Huangpu River, will be offering myriad ideas for sustainable urban living.

In Pudong, on the east side of the river, where the national pavilions and most big facilities are located, giant white funnels will provide shade, channel sunlight to underground walkways and collect rainwater for recycling.
