How will China prepare for the World Expo?

Vision 7 years ago: the concept of green energy

One of the most amazing things of Shanghai World Expo is the concept of green energy. When bidding for the World Expo in 2002, the oil price was less than $40 a barrel. Paying attention to green energy now is not a far-sighted thing, but a last resort. Why did the Shanghai World Expo seven years ago formulate the concept of green energy?

Han Zheng, Mayor of Shanghai, said: "At that time, many experts suggested that the Expo should be a future-oriented Expo. What is the future? It was called sustainability at that time. At that time, the concept of low carbon was not clearly put forward. Energy conservation and emission reduction are very important for sustainable development, so we clearly put it forward. " Therefore, the venues and buildings of the Shanghai World Expo must meet the requirements of environmental protection and energy conservation, and open a window of ecological learning for 70 million Chinese and foreign tourists.

At the entrance of the World Expo, the 42-meter-high Sunshine Valley rises from the ground, and six transparent buildings consisting of 20,000 pieces of glass, which look like blooming flowers and cooperate with the high-tech film canopy, constitute the most beautiful landmark of the central axis of the venue. The Sunshine Valley, costing 3.5 billion yuan, will be completed in June+10 in 5438. Its shape and structure are the first in the world, and it is also an environment-friendly and energy-saving building.

Next year, the World Expo Park will set up the largest solar building in Shanghai, with a power generation capacity of 4.5 MW, which is enough to supply the main electricity for the World Expo. Among them, the theme pavilion has the largest area, which can reduce about 2500 tons of carbon emissions every year. The design of the theme pavilion considers nostalgia and innovation. It has the largest ecological green wall in the world, with the east-west wall reaching 6000 square meters. Evergreen all the year round, Xia Dong keeps warm, and the venue can maintain a comfortable temperature without strong air conditioning.

The park has a daily flow of 400,000 people, and cooling facilities are particularly important. In addition to the greening of the roof and walls and the comprehensive environmental protection vehicles in the park, the Expo Pavilion also uses the Huangpu River water source to supply cooling and thermal energy systems, and creates wetlands to purify the Huangpu River water through biotechnology.

China Pavilion adopts natural lighting, ventilation design and energy-saving devices, and its energy consumption is lower than that of similar buildings 1/4. Venues in other countries also use environmentally friendly building materials and technologies to show their vision of developing eco-cities.

One hundred years ago, Lu of Qing Dynasty wrote "New China" and boldly predicted that Shanghai would hold the World Expo in 20 10, realizing China's dream of becoming a powerful country. Now this prediction has not only come true, but China will also seize the opportunity to launch a low-carbon economic reform project and gradually transform itself from a big energy consuming country into a green energy giant.

Creativity of Chinese and foreign college students: Blogging on both sides of Pujiang

China was invited to attend the 1867 Paris World Expo, but Emperor Tongzhi ignored it. At the invitation of Vienna three years later, China reluctantly agreed to send a batch of local products and antiques to civilize barbarians. That year, the United States exhibited rice cookers and China exhibited steamers, which really dumbfounded foreigners.

In 2002, Shanghai officially won the right to host the 20 10 World Expo. Less than three years after the Beijing Olympic Games and the Shanghai World Expo, China hosted two world events, which also witnessed the achievements of China in the past 30 years of reform and opening up.

In the past, China was a very poor country. Whether in Chicago, London or Paris World Expo, the China exhibition area at that time was just a small booth.

On February 3, 2002, the voice of Gilles Noguos, then chairman of the international exhibition, came from Monte Carlo, Monaco: "I declare that the host city of the 20 10 World Expo is Shanghai."

After four rounds of voting, Shanghai defeated Yeosu, South Korea, and won the right to host the 20 10 World Expo. Nearly 100000000 people poured into the Huangpu River, and China finally realized its dream of World Expo after 160 years.

American rice cookers and China steamer.

Looking back 185 1 The first World Expo opened in London, when no one was sent by the Qing Dynasty. Xu Rongcun, comprador of Shanghai Foreign Firm, sent 12 packages of Huzhou silk to London for exhibition. Unexpectedly, he even won the gold medal.

China was invited to attend the 1867 Paris World Expo, but Emperor Tongzhi ignored it. Three years later, Vienna refused to give up and invited again. China reluctantly agreed to promote national prestige and sent a batch of local products and antiques to civilize barbarians. That year, the United States exhibited rice cookers and China exhibited steamers, which really dumbfounded foreigners.

19 10 in the last year of the Qing dynasty, Lu, a Shanghai doctor, wrote a novel "New China". Imagine a hundred years later, there is no concession in Shanghai, and there are lights, subways and bridges across the river everywhere. Like a fortune teller, Lu predicted that Shanghai would host the World Expo in one hundred years, which is very accurate.

1982, New China participated in the Knoxville World Expo for the first time. The theme of that year was "energy drives the world". The United States exhibited solar collectors and Germany exhibited nuclear reactors. China exhibited ten Great Wall bricks, Terracotta Warriors and Cloisonne. The only thing that involves energy is the rural biogas stove.

However, Fang, a professor at the Institute of Asian and Middle East Studies at Cambridge University, commented: "This is a very huge change, and it also shows that China is looking at its relationship with the world with a new eye."

China also wants to host the World Expo. Wang Daohan, then mayor of Shanghai and later president of ARATS, was far-sighted. He said that the World Expo is different from ordinary exhibitions. It is strategic and has been managed for 50 years.

Shanghai has seen the next 10 year.

On June 5438+ 10, 2002, China applied for hosting the 20 10 Shanghai World Expo. The president, prime minister, vice premier and others were sent to the city-based Expo to create momentum for Shanghai.

China, Shanghai, South Korea, Lishui, Poland, Mexico and Russia competed for the right to host the games. Giles Noguus, then chairman of the Bureau of International Exhibitions, said that this was the most intense World Expo.

Less than three years after the Beijing Olympic Games and the Shanghai World Expo, China hosted two world events, which also witnessed the achievements of China in the past 30 years of reform and opening up.

Cities make life better. As Wang Daohan said, the Shanghai World Expo will herald a new form of human life in the next 50 years.

Shanghai saw its next 10 year long ago. This is why some cities in China developed rapidly in the past. Of course, not seeing the future is also one reason why China has changed from the most powerful country to the poorest and weakest country in the world in these two or three hundred years.

When hearing that Shanghai won the right to host the 20 10 World Expo, Han Zheng, then vice mayor of Shanghai, said, "The whole people of Shanghai were filled with joy that night. I went to Nanjing Road (Pedestrian Street), went to the Bund and sang, raised flags and cheered with some celebrants. "

Chinese and foreign college students imagine the World Expo

There is a short story about where the World Expo will be held. In Jinjiang Auditorium, an exchange meeting between Chinese and foreign college students was held. The students drew some sketches and imagined that the World Expo would be held on both sides of Pujiang River. "The World Expo has a history of 150 years, and it is the first time to take the city as the theme. Since it is an urban theme, why can't Shanghai, which has a history of more than 700 years, be held in the city center? Some people say that Huangpu River is the mother river of Shanghai, and of course it should be next to the mother river to show the vitality, future and imagination of the city. " Han Zheng said.

Since Shanghai applied for the World Expo, people have seen more than one World Expo. This is the transformation of a city, and it will always be the most beautiful heroine in China.

Taiwan Province Zhongtian TV special program "Shanghai Century Dream"

Moderator: Chen Wenxi.

(The manuscript was authorized by Zhongtian TV Station in Taiwan Province Province, and the content was slightly cut down due to the limitation of space. )

Han Zheng, Deputy Secretary of Shanghai Municipal Committee and Mayor:

On July 9th, Chen Wenxi, the host of Shanghai Century Dream, interviewed Han Zheng, the mayor of Shanghai, at the Shanghai Urban Planning Museum. During the two-hour interview, Mayor Han Zheng didn't shy away from any questions. Before the interview, Han Zheng worked as a "commentator" for the Shanghai Urban Planning Museum, and introduced the general layout of Shanghai urban planning and the general situation of the Expo Park to Chen Wenxi in detail.

During the interview, Mayor Han Zheng answered Chen Wenxi's questions about Shanghai's progress in coping with the international financial crisis, preparing for the World Expo and building an international financial center, and also unveiled the decision-making process of the location of the Shanghai World Expo on both sides of the Huangpu River.

Chen Wenxi said that the most important reason why she was able to interview Mayor Han Zheng was that Han Zheng, as the deputy mayor and mayor of Shanghai, had more than 10 years of working experience and had been in charge of Shanghai's urban planning. In the program, Han used two words when answering why Shanghai can be today's miracle: tolerance.

Fang Xinghai, Director of Shanghai Financial Office:

Fang Xinghai, 45, was one of the main interviewees of Shanghai Century Dream, and the interview lasted for two hours.

The program introduces Fang Xinghai in this way: Born in 1964, he is only 45 years old, but he has dominated the financial future of Shanghai stock market and even China.

198 1 year, Fang Xinghai entered Tsinghua Institute of Economics and Management, and was a proud pupil of Zhu Rongji, former Prime Minister of the State Council in China. From 65438 to 0986, he went to Stanford University in the United States for further study and studied under the Nobel Prize winner Stie Grice. 1993, Ph.D. in Economics, working for the World Bank, responsible for economic consultation in Indonesia and India; 65438-0998 went back to the mainland and went to China Construction Bank, becoming the pioneer of Zhou Xiaochuan's "returnees". At that time, 90% of the students joined foreign banks and fund companies with an annual salary of at least one million yuan. However, Fang Xinghai gave up his high salary and became the vice president of Shanghai Stock Exchange first, and then took over the financial office of Shanghai Municipal Government with a monthly salary of 9,000 yuan, while Fang Xinghai held the future of world financial history in his hands.

Liu, Chief Engineer of Hongqiao Hub Planning:

In addition to the Shanghai World Expo and the construction of the financial center, Shanghai's transportation construction is another focus of Shanghai's century dream. Liu, the chief engineer of Hongqiao Hub Planning, became one of the interviewees of Shanghai Century Dream, calling it "the soul of a very important traffic construction center".

The program introduces Liu: He is the behind-the-scenes pusher of Shanghai's traffic strategic planning. In 2003, he wrote to Han Zhengshi, the mayor of Shanghai, and his mind had outlined the traffic blueprint 30 years later: "On a morning in the spring of 2035, a small family in the suburbs of Wuxi took the maglev train to Shanghai at 7: 50, and it took only 25 minutes for the Shanghai maglev train to get off. Then, now this line really does. "

12 years ago, 34-year-old Liu gave up his high salary of 30 times and returned to China. The transportation network he dreamed of in the past and the one-day life circle in the Yangtze River Delta have all been realized one by one.
