Theme of the 2010 Shanghai World Expo - Theme Presentation 1. Theme Pavilions There will be 5 theme pavilions in the Shanghai World Expo site. Three of them are adjacent to each other, forming a theme pavilion group. They are located in the center of Pudong and provide in-depth interpretation and expression of the three conceptual areas of "urban people", "city" and "urban planet". The other two theme pavilions are located in Puxi, showing "footprints" and "dreams" respectively. The "Footprints" theme museum is the Urban Civilization Art Museum, which will reveal the development process of world cities through architecture, sculptures and paintings. Closely connected to the City Civilization Art Museum is the World Expo Museum, which will allow visitors to experience the rich and colorful history of the World Expo since 1851 through a combination of physical objects and virtual reality technology. The "Dream" theme pavilion will use renovated old industrial buildings to display people's beautiful vision of the future city and trigger people's thinking about "what is the future?" 2. Theme areas There are three theme areas around the above-mentioned theme pavilions (groups). Among them, the central theme area of ??the Pudong themed pavilion group will reflect the concept in the "urban people-city-urban planet" framework in the form of themed landmarks, sculptures and images. The theme area around the "Dream" theme pavilion is the "Urban Best Practice Area". Invited exhibitors will present the best cases of urban construction and development from four aspects: "livable homes", "sustainable urbanization", "protection and utilization of historical heritage" and "technological innovation in the built environment". Visitors here will see a city block built based on urban best practice cases, as well as several exhibition halls converted from old industrial buildings to display experiences and cases from cities in various countries. Another theme area connects the World Expo Museum and the Urban Civilization and Art Museum. It will highlight the concept of "footprint" through outdoor installations and imagery. 3. Theme Square The theme square in the Pudong Theme Pavilion covers an area of ??45,000 square meters. As the main public area of ??the Expo site, this theme square uses screens, stages and other facilities to provide visitors with a place to relax, interact and experience the theme. Along the elevated sermon, a series of cultural squares from various continents such as "Asia Square", "Africa Square", "American Square", "European Square" and "Oceania Square" are arranged. Each plaza is adjacent to the pavilions of their respective continents and embodies rich thematic elements through thematic structures, sculptures and related cultural activities. 4. Theme Facilities The Shanghai World Expo also reflects the theme and core ideas of the World Expo through various facilities in the Expo site, such as ecological water purification facilities, rainwater collection and reuse facilities, solar energy facilities, wind energy power generation facilities, geothermal heating facilities, Sewage treatment facilities, clean energy vehicles, etc. These theme facilities not only ensure the efficient operation of the entire Expo, but are also an important part of the theme display. 5. Theme Tour Lines The theme tour lines include theme axes, elevated sermons and themed walking paths, etc. They connect the theme areas, theme squares and theme facilities into an overall network in terms of spatial layout. The theme tour route will use special signs, landmarks, street views, artworks, installations, interactive facilities, etc. to interpret and convey the theme content of the Expo, so that visitors can receive theme information at any time in the park. Therefore, the theme tour line is also an integral part of the theme display system.
