Norway Powered By Nature
♫ June 9th, 2011 10:06 pm
In Shanghai 2010, urban life and urban challenges will for the first time be the main theme of a World Exposition. In Norway, the cities are few and small but every Norwegian city has one quality in common. Be it the sea, the mountain or the forest, Norwegian cities all exist in a close relationship with nature. At EXPO 2010, we will address the theme ‘Better City, Better Life’ by exploring the city’s and the city dweller’s contact with nature. Nature is experienced as a source for recreation and inspiration as well as pure physical energy. This is what we mean when we say “Norway. Powered by Nature.”
The very first world EXPO was in Hyde Park in London in 1851 and showed the British Empire at the height of its economic and political strength. The Shanghai EXPO will be held at a time when the world is looking for a new kind of balance and at a time where China in an unprecedented way is emerging as a global player. It is our hope and ambition that EXPO 2010 will help us build new as well as consolidate and strengthen existing relations between China and Norway. EXPO 2010 will be a meeting ground for politics, civic society, as well as industry, research, tourism and culture.
