The organisers’ intention is for the next Expo to explore «new pathways of development and innovation, oriented to update the global debate on the macro themes of sustainability, mobility, opportunity».įood, the main theme in the edition that ended two days ago, will continue to be a crucial corollary on the axiom of “connectivity” as 80% of the 9 million inhabitants today hold a Palestinian, Iranian, Indian or in general Asian passport. The numbers that pre-describe the Emirates’ festival – to take place in an exhibition area halfway between Dubai and the capital Abu Dhabi, from 20th October 2020 till 10th April 2021 – clearly depict the ambition: 25 million visitors (Milan closed with 21), 70% visitors from outside the continent, a total area of 438 hectares (Milan had 110), of which 200 for the exhibition itself, with a total capacity of 300K people and a daily flow of 153K visitors (the ones that arrived daily in Rho for the past six months were 100K on average).Īmong the most visited and popular of Expo 2015, the pavilion of the United Arab Emirates bore an outline of the themes to be developed in Dubai as of 20th October 2020: sustainability, mobility and opportunitiesThe Expo in Dubai will be served by 3 international airports, a futuristic transport network (including the Expo Riders, 750 zero-emission buses) and will have as its theme Connecting minds, creating the future, a headline that derives from the meaning of the Arab name of the city, al-Wasl, which means “connection”.

Having ended Expo 2015 in Milan in the best possible way, for the next 5 years the eyes will be locked on Dubai 2020, the next World Fair which the megalopolis in the United Arab Emirates won over Yekaterinburg (Russia), Izmir (Turkey, already defeated in the previous session by Milan) and Sao Paulo (Brazil) in November, 2 years ago.
