Exposure
Zero waste initiatives
As one of the most popular pavilions in the Expo Garden, the Germany Pavilion creates a city balancing renewal and preservation, innovation and tradition, urbanity and nature, and society and its individuals.
With the earliest being built around 1850, houses crammed along narrow, twisted lanes (longtangs), are a unique feature of the city. Many retain individual and original architectural features such as elaborately decorated entrances, ornate gables and bridge galleries. Others have been renovated into upscale contemporary housing for the city's well-to-do. Many longtangs in the city still retain a strong sense of community and pride among its residents and, therefore, are an essential part of Shanghai both architecturally and culturally. Here, we feature some of the more famous longtangs in Jing'an district, in the city's downtown area.

Stage
Nantong was one of the first Chinese cities to participate in a World Expo. That was more than a century ago when it won awards and praise for its wine and embroidery.
Since my first trip to Shanghai five years ago, I've thought a lot about the Expo 2010 Shanghai. From that time, I wanted to be a part of it. This event is important to me. For me, it is a large world gathering around the idea and model of universality.
