Dubai Expo 2020. A Look Into the Future

Abstract

The emergence of the World's Fairs was closely connected with construction and the industrial revolution - and the desire to showcase its achievements. At the Expo, people first saw much of what is now our everyday reality: from telephones, the first artificial satellite of the Earth and the Otis elevator to ice cream in a waffle cone. Expo 2020 allows us to look into our future and touch it, full of new technologies, different realities and respect for history and culture. Dubai Expo 2020 is the first World Expo in the Middle East and the first in the history (170 years) Expo where all of 192 participating countries have their own pavilions. If we add partner and thematic pavilions to this, we get a grandiose city of the future. The UAE, as the host country of the EXPO, has indeed become the centre of global peace for half a year. Leading experts from all over the world have rushed to the exhibition. Expo 2020 is an opportunity to see dozens of projects by the best architects and bureaus from all over the world at the same time.
