A top organizing official, says the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, is expected to draw 70 million domestic and foreign visitors。
It's expected to be a record high, for an international event in China。
Yu Zhengsheng, the vice chairman of the expo's organizing committee, says related departments are making every effort, to not only attract more foreign visitors, but to also get them, to stay in China longer.
"We will work out some supportive measures to attract more foreigners to visit the Shanghai Expo and travel to more cities in other parts of China."
Yu adds that the Expo's theme, of "Better City, Better Life", goes along with the country's, massive urbanization process。
The city has invested heavily, to upgrade its transportation and urban construction, ahead of the global event。
So far, a total of 18,000 Shanghai households, that were located in the expo area, have been relocated, doubling their average household living area, to 75 square meters。
12 metro lines covering 400 kilometers, will be completed by the end of next year。
