When the founders of the World Expo held their first session in London in 1851, one of the main conceptual themes 
behind its formation was to create a global platform that connects people from different parts of the world — a platform that celebrates cultural diversity and creates opportunities for people from different backgrounds. Since then, world expos have been held at regular intervals around the world to carry forward the spirit and to move closer towards the goal of human cooperation at a global scale.
In the next few days, the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE) will decide which city will host the World Expo in the year 2020. Below is an infographic giving details about the bid and what is Expo 2020 all about.
