Interpretation of the theme of the Shanghai World Expo

[Edit]

Essence of the theme

Harmonious city is the essence of the theme of the Shanghai World Expo.

Shanghai Expo 2010 will respond to the demand for "Better City, Better Life" with the concept of "Harmonious City".

The concept of "harmony" is embedded in ancient Chinese culture. Chinese culture emphasizes harmony among people, harmony between heaven and man, and harmony between mind and body. The Book of Rites, in depicting the "commonwealth society", puts forward the following: "The way of the road is to make the world a commonwealth, to choose the virtuous and the capable, and to talk about faith and cultivate harmony." China's pre-Qin sages also envisioned a harmonious society in their writings. At the same time, "harmony" is also found in the ideals of Western sages. The ancient Greek philosopher Pythagoras systematically proposed the theory of harmony, which consists of opposites and unity. Another philosopher of the same period, Heraclitus, further put forward the idea that "invisible harmony is better than visible harmony". And in the Ideal State and the Laws, Plato also began to seek the good state that "the whole society will develop in great harmony, and all classes will obtain their share of happiness given by nature".

Over the centuries, people have never stopped exploring the model of the "harmonious city". From "Utopia" to the "Ideal City" in the 18th century to the "Idyllic City", a series of theories, propositions and models have been exploring how to establish a city in space, order, spiritual life and material exchanges. A series of theories, propositions and models have all explored how to establish a balance and harmony between the space, order, spiritual life and material exuberance of the city. Since the 1980s, the concept of sustainable development has emerged as environmental and developmental problems have become increasingly serious. Most of the development strategies put forward by the city governments of various countries are centered on how to rebuild the harmony between people and cities, between people and nature, and ultimately to achieve harmony between the present and the future. It is clear that the pursuit and practice of "harmonious living" and "harmonious city" has been a part of the development history of human society and is becoming more and more evident in the blueprints that people are drawing for tomorrow's cities.

The establishment of a "Harmonious City" is fundamentally based on the harmony between man and nature, man and man, and spirit and matter, and is formally embodied in the harmonious multi-cultural ****existence, the harmonious development of the urban economy, the harmonious life in the age of science and technology, the harmonious functioning of the community cell, and the harmonious interaction between the city and the countryside. The concept of "Harmonious City" will pose a newer challenge to urban management and urban planning, and bring it to a higher level.

Analysis of the Expo's sub-themes

1. Multiculturalism in the city

From its inception, the city has been made up of all kinds of people. In the course of urban development, military, trade and migration have further promoted the collision and fusion of multiple cultures, and formed the unique temperament of each city. This ethos is based on a city's cultural heritage and creative industries on the one hand, and the lifestyles and values of various social groups and classes in the city on the other.

Today, more than ever before, people around the world are concerned about cultural freedom and cultural identity. Urban culture under globalization is facing impacts from many directions. The massive flow of information and people has led to an unprecedented collision between strong and weak cultures, foreign and local cultures, and immigrant and mainstream cultures in cities.

Multiculturalism also implies the harmony of history and future. More and more city managers are recognizing that a cultural strategy that takes into account both the past and the future, that promotes multiculturalism, and that integrates individuality, i.e., a distinct cultural identity, is an important part of sustainable urban development.

2. Prosperity of the urban economy

The earliest cities developed from markets. The driving force of urban economic development is the agglomeration effect of cities. In the age of knowledge economy, innovation and entrepreneurship are increasingly becoming the core driving force for the sustainable development of urban economy. A city's ability to innovate is based on its research prowess, but derives more from the creative interactions between people. Entrepreneurship is related to a city's wealth, but it is actually more rooted in a cultural tradition that encourages entrepreneurship, and whether a city has a quality working and living environment and the ability to attract top-notch talent is directly related to a city's economic future. In addition, good infrastructure and a well-developed service sector are also essential to a city's economic prosperity.

It goes without saying that there is a conflict between urban economic development and the protection of environmental resources. Establishing a circular economy model has become an important strategy for realizing sustainable urban development in cities. This economic development model advocates the 3R principles of reducing the use of resources in production, reusing products repeatedly, and recycling waste to ultimately achieve harmony between economic development and the environment.

In short, the future of the city's economy will be more dynamic, and this vitality is based on two major foundations, one is the innovation and creativity of the public, and the second is the harmony between man and nature ****.

3, the innovation of urban science and technology

The city is a huge stage for human science and technology innovation. Within the walls of the city, a variety of innovative elements converge and mingle, innovative ideas due to people's intensive communication and interaction to burst. At the same time, the city's research and development and production facilities make it possible to quickly transform the sparks of innovation into technology, and then into products and services for the benefit of mankind.

In the 20th century, rapid technological advances made large-scale urbanization possible. At the same time, the enrichment and improvement of people's material life have been concentrated in cities. Science and technology have greatly improved the daily life of human beings, and this material life has also carved a deep mark on the cultural and spiritual life of human beings.

In the city of the future, science and technology will play a great role in the protection of non-renewable resources, the intensive use of energy, the protection of species diversity, and the creation of a sustainable model of human habitation.

4, the remodeling of urban communities

Communities are the "cells" of the city, and are the most common form of living space for urbanites. Healthy "cells" can create a healthy and harmonious city. Cultural integration and economic prosperity are all realized with the community as the basic unit.

The construction and remodeling of urban communities has always been the most immediate task facing city administrators. How to make poor neighborhoods disappear from the social map of cities used to be the most distinctive and persistent confusion in the history of urban development. This task is even more onerous in this day and age with the changing structure of the urban population in developed countries and the unprecedented growth of urban populations in developing countries. In its Millennium Declaration, the United Nations Habitat Organization (UN-HABITAT) set the goal of building "cities without slums", striving to make a significant improvement in the lives of 100 million slum dwellers in the world's cities by 2020.

Under the goal of sustainable development, the reshaping of urban communities in the 21st century means the creation of "balanced communities", which should have the following characteristics: a reasonable composition of residents, a reasonable structure of homeownership, a sound infrastructure, and a pleasant living environment. infrastructure, a pleasant living environment, adequate employment and entrepreneurial opportunities, and deep social cohesion.

5. Interaction between urban and rural areas

Urban and rural areas have been economically, socially, and environmentally interdependent since the birth of cities. Rural dwellers earn their living by selling their products to the city, and the city's prosperity depends on the resources and needs of its rural hinterland.

Urban expansion puts enormous pressure on non-renewable resources, which can be minimized by new ideas in urban planning and the use of building and energy technologies. At the same time, the influx of large numbers of people from rural areas presents difficult issues for urban management. On the one hand, the construction and renovation of urban communities will give the urbanized population a good living environment; while on the other hand, the construction of small cities and market towns can effectively reduce the population and employment pressure borne by large cities. Under the impact of globalization, agricultural areas in some countries have lost their competitive edge, and good urban-rural interaction can help farmers to successfully switch their operations and regain their livelihoods, or to reshape their agricultural production structure and restore the competitiveness of agriculture. How to coordinate the flow of people, capital, commodities and information between urban and rural areas is closely related to whether urban and rural areas can develop in a harmonious and synchronized manner.

Nearly half of the world's population now lives in rural areas, and the disparity between urban and rural areas in developing countries has prompted international organizations to call for making full use of the complementary roles and interconnections between rural and urban areas, and to strive to eradicate rural poverty and improve living conditions in rural areas, while seeking to eliminate urban poverty.
