Fruits of Civilization

Motto: The city is a special structure; fine and compact, adapted to protect the fruit of human civilization. (Lewis Mumford)

The goal of the Czech Republic's participation is to present our country as a prosperous and attractive country in the heart of Europe, which with its unique way contributes to the creation and maintaining of civilization values. In contrast with many other countries, we have managed to keep the fruits of diverse cultures, sharing in cultural development in our cities. Whether it is in the form of historic cities' core, which to this day live their own lives, they are naturally incorporated into the surrounding modern development and became an integral part of today's cities. Similarly, our cities also reflect the past coexistence with various cultures and communities, which enrich the city’s life. The strong suit of the Czech Republic remains its high urbanistic level, accented over the past 20 years by the Czech Republic’s growth.

The positive presentation of the cultural and economic aspects of life in the Czech Republic represents a significant opportunity to express the ability of our nation to exist in harmony not only with each other, but with those in neighbouring countries.

EXPO Shanghai is an exceptional opportunity to intensify business contacts between China and the Czech Republic. The international significance of the Chinese People’s Republic is on the rise worldwide, not only because of its tremendous GDP growth but also as the result of the introduction of modern technologies in industrial plants and the efforts of genuine improvements to urban agglomerations.

The theme of the Czech Republic's exposition "FRUITS OF CIVILIZATION" will offer a great space for its creative format and offers an opportunity to present the country as a tourist destination and an interesting place for investment.
