Better City, Better Life
Shanghai will host the World Expo from 1st May to 31st October 2010, whose central theme is urban development, under the banner Better City, Better Life. To mark this event, Spot Image and its Chinese subsidiary Beijing Spot Image searched in the large SPOT archive to tell the story of the works which have been carried out in the Expo area and of the city's growth.
The Expo 2010 site covers 5.28 sq km in the centre of Shanghai, on either side of the Huang-p'u River. From 1994 to 2010, the SPOT satellites depict urban change as the future city takes shape. Factories, docks and shipyards give way to innovative architectural creations from numerous countries.
Commercial operator of the SPOT satellites and supplier of imagery from a range of other optical and radar Earth-imaging satellites, Spot Image is one of the world-leading suppliers of geospatial products and services derived from satellite imagery.
Spot Image is 96% owned by Astrium Services and is part of the Spot Infoterra division.
