Balance: Include balance between different initiative regions, balance between developed countries and developing countries, balance between different exhibition fields, balance between different exhibition modes, and balance between foreign and domestic cases.

Attraction and originality: Refer to the quality of attracting and being original.

The first category of exhibitions:

Fifteen full-size mockups will be built to form a "simulated city block" in the north.

The second category of exhibitions:

More than forty cases will be presented within the pavilion complexes in the center.

In the centre, the old factory buildings and facilities will be renovated to provide four thematic pavilion complexes. The renovation project is proceeding smoothly. Relevant conceptual plans are ready.

The third category of exhibitions:

These exhibitions will be arranged and presented within some sub-theme pavilions and the theme plaza in the south, in the form of forum, multimedia display, online interaction, board exhibition, and such. The participation of more outstanding cases will be encouraged and ensured in this area.
