International Horticultural Exhibition 2024 Chengdu China

The World Horticultural Exposition is an international exposition recognized by the International Association of Horticultural Producers (AIPH) in the Netherlands. The Expo is scheduled to be held from April 26 to October 28, 2024, with the theme of "Park City, Happy Chengdu". It adheres to the concepts of green and low-carbon, sustainable conservation, sharing and inclusiveness. In the construction of the site, the existing main vegetation will be retained as much as possible, and Chengdu's good plant growth conditions will be fully utilized. The native tree species will be mainly used, and the special plants such as medicinal herbs, fruits and vegetables, roses, crabapples, and crape myrtles will be displayed in combination with the characteristics of the exhibition garden to create a diverse plant community and plant landscape.

From theme to planning and design, the Chengdu Expo has always adhered to the three principles of "green and low-carbon, conservation and sustainability, sharing and inclusiveness", which are in line with the construction concept of a park city.

A "green, harmonious, and ecological" Expo. Green is the urban background of Chengdu that has been nurtured for thousands of years. We will take "production, ecology, and life" as the core concept, fully integrate the construction and subsequent operation of the Expo into the Jiangxi River area, and fully adopt green, environmentally friendly, recycling, and energy-saving technologies and low-carbon, natural, and ecological materials, emphasizing sustainable retention and lasting use. Integrate the Expo into the city's public space, build more parks and green spaces, and increase people's happiness index and sense of gain.

A World Horticultural Exposition with "Chengdu's own characteristics". First, it integrates Chengdu's unique history and regional culture. This includes Chengdu's garden and horticultural culture, people's life culture, folk art, etc. The World Horticultural Exposition held here will be a feast that highlights Chengdu's culture and life attitude; second, it highlights the advantages of the park city in ecological environment construction. Chengdu has been an ecological flower city since ancient times. We will pay attention to people's life experience in the city, actively promote the construction of park cities, and show Residents an ecological scene of harmony between man and nature. Third, the planning layout and operation system of the World Horticultural Exposition highlight innovation. The site focuses on the protection and utilization of water, fields, forests, and residential resources with the characteristics of western Sichuan, so that the construction of the World Horticultural Exposition can achieve low consumption and sustainability. In terms of operation, multiple parties participate, integrate smart concepts, plan to form a diverse tour system, and innovatively use new technologies and new means to achieve resource aggregation and sharing.
