Questions for panel discussion

1.
What is the most memorable thing from your visit to the Shanghai World Expo 2010?

2.
What are the main strengths and weaknesses of the Shanghai World Expo 2010? (1 and 2 can be combined together)

3.
The theme of the Shanghai World Expo 2010 is “Better City, better Life”. Has “Better City, Better Life” been achieved through the Shanghai World Expo 2010? (In your opinion, what is the relationship between the two key terms “City” and “Life”? – optional question)

4.
Do you agree that we need a “Better city” to have a “Better life”? Or vice versa?

5.
What can we learn from the event and apply to our Rugby World Cup next year?

6.
From the presentation, we know that one third of the overall building area of Shanghai World Expo is composed of old manufacturing buildings that have been rebuilt. In the context of Rugby World Cup 2011, how do you perceive the two sheds on Queen’s Wharf? Do you think it is an opportunity for rebuilding or change?

7.
Are the physical and social infrastructures in Auckland sufficient for the Rugby World Cup 2011?

8.
Chinese Government has used the Shanghai Expo 2010 as an opportunity to promote Eco-friendly transportation and green building design. For next year’s Rugby World Cup 2011, what do you think the New Zealand government can learn from the Shanghai Expo? Is there a possibility to adopt global warming as a global threat and turn it into an opportunity to develop nation’s “Green economy”?

For over a century, world fairs have given visitors a taste of the future and the progress of human societies. The Expo 2010, Shanghai, follows this historic legacy by being inarguably the most expensive Expo in the history of World fairs with an estimated 70-80 million visitors during its run. With a makeover of $45 billion USD - more than what was spent on the Beijing Olympics, its theme ‘Better City – Better Life’ aims to cement Shanghai’s emergence as the ‘next Great World City’ and offers a glimpse of a greener future. With the United Nations praising Shanghai’s efforts towards organizing an environmentally-friendly event, one could wonder about the sustainability issues involved with its extravagant creation and operational scale, and the impact it would have on the city’s 20 million residents and beyond here in Auckland.

A panel has been put together to discuss a range of sustainable-focused topics, from a detailed take from Shanghai’s eco-friendly strategies, to Expo’s influential nature in Auckland and possible effects it has had on the planning of the Rugby World Cup in 2011.

This is a great opportunity to attend a presentation made by some of the Expo’s delegates, and engage with some of Auckland’s most prominent members of the public.
