4. Feeding the Planet
Milan was selected as the host-city for the Universal Exposition and Italy chose Feeding the
Planet, Energy for Life as its central theme. Expo Milano 2015 will show the problems of
nutrition and the resources of our planet. The idea is to open up a dialogue between international
players, and to exchange views on these major challenges which affect everyone.

5. The History of the Universal Exposition

6. The Meaning of Expo
The first edition was in 1851 in The Crystal Palace of London. It was
the perfect stage to show the most ambitious successes of Man. It is
an occasion to share technologies, innovation and discoveries. The
Eiffel tower was built in Paris when the city hosted the Exposition in
1889.
The Universal Exposition is a non-commercial exhibition. It was the
place to present creativity and knowledge and where every country
could demonstrate what it had to offer to the world.
The Universal Exposition takes place on a dedicated site and all the
other countries are invited, through diplomatic channels, to participate.
Every Universal Exposition leaves behind monuments and buildings
that are treasured by the host city, like the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the
Atomium in Brussels or the Space Needle in Seattle. But that is not all:
the Universal Exposition is an opportunity to change the face of the
city, to improve quality of life for its citizens and to attract more tourists.
The Universal Expositions of Shanghai, Lisbon, Brisbane, Spokane
and many other cities have left the legacy of modern neighborhoods,
new infrastructures, parks and museums.
