City of Milan during the Expo 2015 preparation


Expo 2015 is the next scheduled Universal Exposition after Expo 2012, and will be hosted by Milan, Italy, between 1 May and 31 October 2015. This will be the second time Milan hosts the exposition, the first being the Milan International of 1906, of which the old structures remain but undergo a demolition/reconstruction these months. The theme chosen for the 2015 Milan Universal Exposition is Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life. Embracing culture, traditions, technology, innovation and creativity and how they are related to food and diet. Expo 2015 will further develop themes introduced in earlier Expos (, water at Expo 2008 in Zaragoza) after the view of new global emerging issues, with a main focus on the right to healthy, secure and sufficient food for all the world’s inhabitants. Images in this gallery tell the city of Milan in the period very close to the opening of the Expo 2015, the new district of Porta Nuova, the still unfinished structures and buildings, the sites where old buildings of the ‘900 exhibition undergo a demolition and are replaced by modern infrastructures, finally some shots on the downtown of Milan
