For the past 11 years I have lived and worked in China trying to lend my voice to the growing concern here for sustainable development. You can imagine my excitement when I learned that the World Expo 2010 was to be in Shanghai and focus on Better (more sustainable) Cities so that residents can live Better Lives.
For a year, I researched the plans for what the various countries, cities and companies were proposing to do at the Expo and spent the six months during the Expo documenting what I found that they really had done. I spent one to three days a week visiting over 150 Pavilions. It was not an easy, but a very important, task to separate the real from the talk and I was glad to see that amongst all the hype and hyperbole in the media, there were some real gems at the Expo. Since then I have prepared a series of articles to report on the real and meaningful examples of sustainable design and practice that I was able to discover at the World Expo 2010. This three-part series of reports has been serialized in the Eco Nomy Magazine.
