The World Expo is an universal exposition sanctioned by the Bureau of International Expositions (BIE) and organised every five years by the nation that wins the right to host the event. They attract millions of visitors who explore and discover pavilions, exhibitions and cultural events staged by hundreds of participants including nations, international organisations and businesses. Each one is a catalyst for economic, cultural and social transformation and generates important legacies for the host city and nation. The current World Expo is being held at Milan, Italy (May 1st to October 31st, 2015). The Dubai Expo 2020 and its significance The Dubai Expo 2020 will be the first one to be held in the MENA region, and it will run for a six-month period between October 2020 and April 2021. Approximately 182 countries and companies are expected to participate in the Dubai Expo 2020. The purpose of the Dubai Expo 2020 is to provide a platform for the global community to share innovations and engage in debate about key issues facing the world. The reason the Dubai Expo 2020 is evincing huge interest is because analysts believe it will boost tourism and other parts of the economy as the government is likely to spend a predicted US$ 7 billion on infrastructure, with the benefit expected to trickle down to other industries.

  • Dubai 2020: Dreamscapes, Mega Malls and Spaces of Post-Modernity
    Dubai 2020: Dreamscapes, Mega Malls and Spaces of Post-Modernity Dubai’s hosting of the 2020 Expo further authenticates its status as an example of an emerging Arab city that displays modernity through sequences of fragmented urban- scapes, and introvert spaces. The 2020 Expo is expected to reinforce the image of Dubai as a city of hybrid architectures and new forms of urbanism, marked by technologically advanced infrastructural systems. This paper revisits Dubai’s spaces of the spectacle such as the Burj Khalifa and themed mega malls, to highlight the power of these spaces of repre- sentation in shaping Dubai’s image and identity.

Dubai’s Abu Dhabi University interest to make headlines of the international media fostered major investment in an endless vocabulary of forms and fragments to create architectural specta- cles.
