Norway Powered By Nature

City life is determined by the city's relationship with the nature in and around the city. It is through this approach to city and nature that Norway will address the EXPO theme 'Better City, Better Life'
Nature is experienced as source of inspiration, recreation and pure physical energy. This is what we mean when we say 'Norway. Powered by Nature' and this is what we want to share with the visitors who come the Norwegian pavilion at the World Expo in Shanghai in 2010.

Norway and World EXPO through history

BY Peter Butenschøn
The world exhibitions during the mid 1800s were children of the industrialization period. Prior to this there had been several regional and national exhibitions, large fairs and festivals. The first official World Exhibition, that took place in London in 1851, celebrated free trade pass borders, free communication and competitive conditions and not the least an industrial growth and experimentation beyond people’s wildest dreams.
