The Story of Dubai Expo: Creating Hope in Times of Upheaval

Inhalt

An extraordinary first-hand account of the building of Expo 2020 When Ground Shifts is the extraordinary story of the building of the first Expo to be held in the Middle East. As minister responsible, the author Reem Al-Hashimy dealt with the twin challenges of both Covid delays and pregnancy to host one of the most unifying and groundbreaking international events of this century, for the first time providing an equal platform for exhibitors of all nations. The book also offers the fascinating wider context of the Emirates'' and its role not only in large international events such as Expo and COP but also, in its rejection of colonialism, as a broker between nations and a leader of the Global South.
