Between May 1st and October 31st 2010 the World Expo - World Expo 2010 Shanghai will be held in the city of Shanghai, China. The Expo will attract governments and people from around the world. The Expo theme is "Better Cities, Better Quality of Life", reflecting the desire common to all mankind for a better life in urban environments, now and in the future, and a central concern of the international community for the future development of policies and strategies for urban development.

A sneak peak at what Portugal has in mind. With a total area of 2,000m2 and a forecast of 3million visitors to their pavilion, Portugal has bough their roots across the globe for 184 days.


The pavilion has a façade that is covered in cork, a nationally-sourced, recyclable and environmentally friendly material. This is one example of innovation and good environmental practice that enhances Portugal's image in the largest Universal Exhibition ever held. It reflects the concept of urban sustainability in modern-day cities and highlights it as a key element in national policies, economically and environmentally.
 
Good luck Portugal
