Singapore is seeking ideas from the public for its show at the Shanghai World Expo. The garden city has secured a plot of 3,000 square meters for its pavilion, the largest in its participation history.

Residents interested in the garden city's Expo plan can log on to its Website (www.singaporeatworldexpo.com) from Monday for information regarding the pavilion and to submit proposals for the exhibition.

Singapore, which signed a participation contract with organizers today, plans to display its practices in achieving sustainable development and share success stories in other aspects such as urban planning under the theme“City of Possibilities, Transforming Lives.”
