The Expo will be held over a period of 6 months (April to October 2013). It will take place around the Suncheon Bay area, and a space of 152 hectare is set aside for its development.
Over the last 150 years, International Garden Expos have been recognized throughout Europe and other developed countries. They have mainly been developed as a way of urban restoration and environmental planning and protection. Trees and flowers keep on growing and blooming as well as increasing the value of the environment. For this reason Garden Expos can be seen as ongoing or continues.
With Suncheon City, hosting the Expo in 2013, it also hopes to boasts the already existing value of Suncheon Bay, one of the world's top 5 coastal wetlands.
Combined, our city is aiming to be recognized as one of the world's top ecological areas. We want to see Suncheon being reborn as a global leader on the field of "Green Growing-Cities".
