5.Section One
The city is an accumulation of human civilization.Just as the American social philosopher (哲學家) Lewis Mumford put it,it is a special system which,fine and compact,has been designed to preserve the fruits of human civilization.Many Western languages have developed their versions of the term"civilization"from the same Latin (拉丁語的) word"civitas"(meaning"city"),and it is by no means a coincidence.The city has played a significant role in the perfection of order in human society.
Section Two
The emblem,showing the image of three people-you,me,him/her holding hands together,symbolizes the big family of mankind.Inspired by the shape of the Chinese character"世"(meaning the world),the design conveys the organizers'wish to host an Expo which is of global scale and which showcases the various urban cultures of the world.
Section Three
