EXPO Zaragoza 2008 – Water and sustainable development

7.5 million guests are expected to visit the coming world exhibition, which takes place from June 14th to September 14th 2008 in the Spanish city of Zaragoza. The theme is water and sustainable development.

From the outset the exposition has aimed to be more than just an attractive urban development project; it is a driving force for necessary urban, social and cultural change. International expositions have been and are valuable tools for progress in all areas with global sustainability problems: the environment, energy, healthcare and education, etc.

World Exhibitions have a 150-year history and have throughout the years always been a global non-commercial exhibition. They form a home of cross cultural dialogues, international meetings and serious exchanges of global dilemma solutions. In fact, Expo is considered the Olympics of economy, technology and research, with an ocean of national attractions in the pavilions.
