From 1 May to 31 October 2010, the mega-city on the banks of the Yangtse River will play host to the next World Fair, where the theme will be “Better City, Better Life”. Work on Germany’s national pavilion for the event is underway.

This website gives you all of the key facts concerning “balancity”, the city of ideas, where Germany will be showcased at EXPO 2010 in Shanghai. In January 2007, the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology, which is in charge of the pavilion, commissioned Koelnmesse International GmbH to organise the German EXPO contribution.

The exhibition was designed by the creatives at Milla und Partner of Stuttgart, the architecture by Schmidhuber + Kaindl of Munich, and NUSSLI (Germany) GmbH from Roth near Nuremberg is responsible for the construction work. The three firms have established a partnership under civil law (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Deutscher Pavillon Shanghai GbR).
