Shanghai's greatest show draws to a close |
Shanghai's Expo finishes at the end of this month, and what a show it has been. The mega-event reached its targeted attendance of 70 million visitors halfway through its final month; on October 16 alone some 1.03 million people visited the site. The overall attendance figure broke the previous record set by World Expo Osaka in 1970.
The SWFC Observatory also saw a boom of visitors during Expo's final month. To cope with the surging crowds, the stairwell from 97/F to 100/F was opened to allow visitors to walk to the observation deck instead of waiting for the elevators. The sofas in Sky Arena 94 were placed to face the windows, so that guests could have a seat offering an amazing view of Shanghai. Visitors could also enjoy gourmet cuisine, have a relaxing coffee with friends, buy souvenirs and read books in the SWFC's unique 'Vertical Garden City' environment. |

"Struggling Cities: From Japanese Urban Projects in the 1960s" |
The SWFC's ongoing exhibition "Struggling Cities: From Japanese Urban Projects in the 1960s" showcases the work of young Japanese architects in the 1960s, when the country saw a flourishing of new ideas in that field. The exhibition is relevant to Shanghai today. Now a highly developed city, Shanghai faces all of the issues that come with urbanization – traffic jams, air pollution, housing – and this event shows how Japan dealt with those problems half a century ago. The exhibition runs until November 17 in the 2/F Convention Area. |
