Amidst Dubai’s energy, I was on another journey to Expo City Dubai, the epitome of futuristic urban living. This day’s adventure led me to meet Sholto Douglas-Home, the Chief Marketing Officer and the master storyteller charged with conveying this visionary project to the world. Our conversation at the Expo City Headquarters, surrounded by the city’s innovative spirit, was an eye-opening narrative into the future of urban living and an exploration of the urban oasis that is Expo City Dubai.

The diversity of Expo City is a central character in Sholto’s narrative. It’s not just about bringing together different nationalities; it’s about creating a mosaic of cultures, ideas, and perspectives. As Sholto describes, this cultural tapestry is integral to the city’s identity, fostering a space where innovation and collaboration naturally flourish.
