SHANGHAI is to build the world`s largest exhibition complex. Construction in the Hongqiao commercial area will begin by the end of the year in Qingpu District. Work on the complex, covering 500,000 square meters, should take two years.
The complex will be both above and underground and will be triple the size of the Shanghai New International Expo Center in Pudong New Area, the city`s largest exhibition venue so far. It will also exceed the area of the exhibition hub in Hanover, Germany, which is currently the world`s largest."
The hub will be to the west of Hongqiao International Airport. About 80 percent of the land will be used for the complex and the rest for logistics facilities and other amenities. Hotels and cultural and recreational zones will be built around the hub. Three Metro lines, including Line 2 and the planned Line 20 and 23 will reach the area.
