DESCRIPTION:

THE WORLD EXPO (WORLD'S FAIR) COMES TO JAPAN

2025 is a World Expo year


The World Expo, also known as the World's Fair, is a large international exhibition designed to showcase the achievements of nations. These exhibitions vary in character and are held in different parts of the world at a specific site for a time, usually from three to six months.

A TRADITION OF INNOVATION


The tradition of World Expos began with the Great Exhibition of 1851 in London, housed in the Crystal Palace. This event was the brainchild of Prince Albert, Queen Victoria's consort, and was the first international exhibition of manufactured products to promote exchanging ideas and innovations across nations. Prince Albert's idea has since evolved into a platform for cultural dialogue and a showcase for state-of-the-art technology and architecture.

ICONIC ARCHITECTURE


Over the years, World Expos have been responsible for introducing several landmark architectural structures.

Notable examples include:

—The Eiffel Tower was built as the Paris entrance arch to the 1889 World Fair.
—The Columbian Exposition introduced the Ferris wheel in 1893 for Chicago's hosting.
—The iconic Space Needle and Alweg monorail were built for hosting in 1962 in Seattle.

World Fairs promote technological achievements, often debuting life-changing inventions, such as the telephone (1876, Philadelphia), the X-ray machine (1901, Buffalo), and simple ideas like the ice cream cone (1904, Saint Louis).

World Expo 2025 in Osaka, Japan, will be the nation's second hosting; its first ran in 1970. The theme for the 2025 Expo is "Designing Future Society for Our Lives," focusing on the challenges facing modern society, including sustainability, health, and the digital revolution. Osaka's theme reflects a shift in the focus of World Expos from industrial and technological achievements to broader social and global issues.
