EVERY 1,000-square-meter exhibition area at the 2010 World Expo will create more than 100 new jobs in Shanghai, a former leader of the city's planning body said at an online forum yesterday.
The number of jobs may well be much higher than previous expectations, Jiang Yingshi, former director of Shanghai Municipal Development and Reform Commission, said on Eastday.com. Jiang is a member of the Shanghai Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the city's top advisory body.
The total exhibition area of the Expo is 850,000 square meters, so the 2010 event could create at least 85,000 new jobs.
Jiang took part in the online chat after the annual plenary session of the Shanghai Committee of the CPPCC during which Wu Jiansheng, a professor at Tongji University, proposed a smoking ban on the Expo site.
The Expo organizer is considering the proposal.
Meanwhile, the Japanese city of Osaka yesterday signed a contract with the Bureau of Shanghai World Expo Coordination to participate in the Urban Best Practice Area.
The area will showcase cities and how they've used advanced technology and innovative ideas to improve their environment.
The area now has more than 60 participating cities from China and abroad.
