Update<\/strong><\/span>:\u00a0Due to the massive outbreak of the COVID 19 pandemic, the UAE government feels saddened to announce that they are planning to postpone the Expo 2020 Dubai event until the next year 2021. They are extremely apologetic to all their international stakeholders and people who were looking forward to attending the event. The difficult decision was made as a collective one by the Steering Committee in collaboration with the International des Expositions (BIE). For now, they have planned to postpone it for one year but based on the changing dynamics of the world, they will establish\/update a new date on the official Expo 2020 website in the coming days.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

With less than 900 days to go, the development of the World Expo 2020 is progressing towards its initiation at an astonishing speed. More than 15,000 workers have dedicated their lives to the project, having invested more than 16 million hours to date, transforming the vast desolation of South Dubai into a mesmerizing destination, the likes of which our world has never seen. With a jaw-dropping architecture and all constructions projected to be completed a year before the official launch, Dubai Expo 2020 aims to bring more than 180 nations together under one umbrella.<\/p>\n

If you ever get a chance to visit the outskirts of the South of Dubai, you are bound to come across heavily loaded trucks entering the zone every few minutes, crammed up to the brim with construction material. Currently, the entire zone is under construction and the only perceptible architectures to date are the headquarters for the Expo 2020 and a half-sized mock-up of a country pavilion. Also, there dotting the barrenness is a concrete batching plant, some air-conditioned resting huts, substations, tower cranes, and base foundations for other structures.<\/p>\n

As far as the commute is concerned, an extended metro system connects the Al Maktoum airport directly with the Expo 2020 site. Whereas, civil engineers and architects are also reusing steel from the previous buildings keeping the aspect of sustainability in mind. Furthermore, the on-site lamp lights are mostly solar-powered, and all the excavated earth is being reused in construction. More than 5,000 cubic meters of concrete and more than 500 tons of steel are brought into the construction site every week, and already three of the districts have been completed.<\/p>\n

With so much going on around in the world of Dubai Expo, we often wonder who is beyond this ultimate construction and what is the legacy behind it all. Let’s find out.<\/p>\n
