Better City, Better Life

The theme of Shanghai Expo ’10 “Better City, Better Life,” will lead artists, designers and others to explore the relationship between the city and countryside, man and nature. As urban space becomes even more important and a smaller and smaller percentage of Chinese live in rural settings, the question of how to make that space effective and pleasant will be ever more important. This piece from Shanghai Daily discusses the recent show “Imagination of Expo 2010” that showcased all kinds of imaginative new designs that try to better urban life. It will be interesting to track the fashion ideas that appear at Expo 2010.
