    World Expo 2020: Destination Dubai

    World Expo 2020: Destination Dubai August 2015 Dubai World Trade Centre www.thebig5.ae 23-26 Nov 2015 Definition of World Expo The World Expo is a major event, considered to be the third-largest global non- commercial event in terms of economic and cultural impact, after the Olympic Games and the FIFA World Cup. 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 [Metro]Polis: Infrastructural Landscapes and Urban Utopia

    Dubai [Metro]Polis: Infrastructural Landscapes and Urban Utopia

    Dubai [Metro]polis: Infrastructural Landscapes and Urban Utopia When Dubai Metro was launched in 2009, it became a new catalyst for urban change but also a modern tool to interact with the city - providing a visual experience and an unprecedented perception of moving in space and time, almost at the edge between the imaginary and the real. By drawing on the traditional association between train, perception and the city we argue that the design and planning of Dubai Metro is intended as a signifier of modernity for the Gulf region, with its futuristic designs and in the context of the local socio-cultural associations. NADIA MOUNAJJED INTRODUCTION Abu Dhabi University For the last four decades, Dubai epitomized a model for post-oil Gulf cities and positioned itself as a subject for visionary thinking and urban experimentation. PAOLO CARATELLI During the years preceding 2008, Dubai became almost a site of utopia - evoking Abu Dhabi University a long tradition of prolific visionary thinking about the city – particularly 1970s utopian projects. Today skyscrapers, gated communities, man-made islands, iconic buildings and long extended waterfronts, dominate the cityscape. Until now, most of the projects are built organically within a fragmented urban order, often coexisting in isolation within a surrounding incoherence. When inaugu- rated in 2009, Dubai Metro marked the beginning of a new association between urbanity, mobility and modernity. It marked the start of a new era for urban mass transit in the Arabian Peninsula and is now perceived as an icon of the emirate’s modern urbanity (Ramos, 2010, Decker, 2009, Billing, n.

    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. Contemporary Dubai is experienced through symbolic imprints of multiple policies framed within an urban context to project an image of a city offers luxu- rious dreamscapes, assembled in discontinued urban centers.

The event organizers announced a requirement of thirty thousand volunteers to assist them in successfully organizing the mega event. Such events could prove to be landmarks in destination brand building and may lead to an increase in the number of tourists. The purpose of the study is to gauge the level of understanding about the event impacts within the resident population and their willingness to get involved in event organization. Priory studies of perceptions about the economic, cultural and environmental impacts of a mega-event, are well-nigh non-existent, especially for World Expositions. This study explores residents’ perception to get a fair idea of how they get involved in a mega event that will surely have profound impacts on the destination. Drawing on stakeholder theory and triple bottom line (TBL) model, the study uses primary data collected from more than two hundred fifty residents of the region, through a structured questionnaire.

    Canada Commits to World Expo 2020 Dubai Statements from Canada-UAE Business Council (CUBC) Leaders “I’m delighted to hear that Canada will join other G20 countries at World Expo 2020 Dubai. Canadians understand firsthand the significance of World’s Fairs. We hosted two of our own – Expo ’67 in Montreal and Expo ’86 in Vancouver. These were transformative events that brought Canadians and the world together, strengthened our nation from coast to coast, and showed the world what Canada could offer. We celebrated 100 years of confederation at Expo ‘67; the UAE will celebrate its 50th Anniversary with World Expo 2020 Dubai. By participating in World Expo 2020 Dubai, we are supporting the United Arab Emirates as it becomes the first country to host a World Expo in the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia. We are also showing up at an important international trade show. Canadian innovations, business, and culture will take centre stage. Our cultural and business ties will deepen with the UAE, and with more than 200 other nations participating in World Expo 2020 Dubai. During my time as the Co-Chair of the Canada-UAE Business Council, I have been exposed to clear opportunities for Canada in the UAE and broader region. Opportunities in engineering, construction, health, and education stand out. There is untapped potential for Canada to realize as we work towards further diversifying our trade and investment. I am honoured to volunteer with the CUBC. It’s a passion project to learn more about a relatively unknown country to Canadians and to advance relations between two like-minded nations.” - The Honourable Jean Charest, Co-Chair, Canada-UAE Business Council and Partner, McCarthy Tetrault “I’d like to congratulate Canada and welcome all Canadians to join the world at World Expo 2020 Dubai from October 2020 to April 2021.

They Fpresent a fantastic opportunity to indulge the creative’s ambition to realise experiences which command the attention of a broad spectrum of visitors. Controversial, educational, stunning, provocative, utterly perplexing - I’ve seen pavilions be all these things, and rightly so. EXPOs are the time to showcase our boldest ideas, confront the issues facing us as a global society and stimulate debate for resolution. The tricky part is conveying these messages to a diverse audience in an entertaining and innovative way. EX Over the last 50 years, Electrosonic has been involved in creating lasting memories for 15 EXPOs, in nine countries, providing AV solutions to over 80 pavilions. We have worked with some of the greatest pavilion teams to bring their aspirations to life, innovating to raise our capabilities in sound and visual experiences to deliver the designers’ dreams, no matter how wild they might initially appear. As with our experience in the entertainment arena, we understand a pavilion’s success is measured in its ability to engage the visitor and offer an experience they have never had before. With technology now playing a central role in all our lives, to capture an audience’s attention and provide an opportunity to demonstrate their role in achieving change requires an ability to rise above the ordinary and dare for something beyond.
