我們來自全球各地的參展方和所有參與者，在“城市，讓生活更美好”主題的引導下，共同參與第一次在發展中國家舉辦的注冊類世博會，在184天的會期里，各具創意的展覽展示，精彩紛呈的文化活動，智慧迭出的論壇研討，讓我們認識到人類對美好生活的理解與追求引領城市發展。我們高度認同，必須重要審視城市化過程中人、城市與地球家園的關系，我們一致認為，通過創新來建設和諧城市是城市可持續發展的解決之道。
We, participants and friends from all reaches of the globe, drawn by the theme "Better City, Better Life," have gathered in Shanghai and jointly fashioned the first World Expo in a developing country organized under the auspices of the Bureau International des Expositions. During these 184 days, we have explored, envisioned and simulated the mosaic of urban life through the wonderful exhibitions of the pavilions, the instructive showcases of urban best practices, the in-depth intellectual exchanges in the forums and the brilliant cultural events.
We have come to realize that people's understanding and pursuit of a better life are both the foundations and the engines of urban development.
We are also convinced that it is necessary to re-examine the relationship between people, cities and our planet.
We agree that, in tackling the challenges of urban development, innovation offers solutions and the concept of "Cities of Harmony" embodies our dreams.
今天，50%以上的人已經居住在城市，我們的星球進入了城市時代，城市化和工業化在帶給人類豐富現代文明成果的同時，也伴隨著前所未有的挑戰，人口膨脹、交通擁堵、環境污染、資源緊缺、城市貧困、文化沖突正在成為全球性的問題。由于歷史和現實的原因，這些現象在發展中國家尤為突出。中國2010年上海世博會在挑戰中應運而生，在世博會歷史上首次以“城市”為主題，通過“城市最佳實踐區”和網上世博會等創舉，總結實踐經驗，勾勒未來圖景，對解決人類共同面臨的難題進行了開創性的探索。
At present, with more than half of humankind living in cities, our planet has entered the urban age. Rapid urbanization and industrialization have offered to humanity the abundant fruits of modern civilization, but at the same time they have brought unprecedented challenges. Population explosion, traffic congestion, environmental pollution, resource shortages, urban poverty and cultural conflicts are becoming urban problems with a global scope. For historical and current reasons, these phenomena are especially prominent in many developing countries. The Shanghai Expo responded to the times by selecting cities as its theme. It also introduced the first-ever Urban Best Practices Area and Virtual Expo to pursue a ground-breaking exploration of the possible solutions to the common dilemmas faced by humankind.
今天，上海世博會即將閉幕，我們高度肯定，世博會作為文明展示與交流平臺的重要價值，作為對本屆世博會思想成果的總結，我們一致同意發表《上海宣言》，以表達城市時代全球公眾對和諧美好城市生活的共同愿景。我們一致認為，和諧城市應該是建立在可持續發展基礎之上的合理有序、自我更新、充滿活力的城市生命體。和諧城市，應該是生態環境友好、經濟節約高效、社會公平和睦的城市綜合體。我們相信，這樣的和諧城市是實現“城市，讓生活更美好”的有效途徑。
Today, as this grand gathering comes to a close, we sing high praise for the important value of the World Expo as a platform to confront these challenges and as a vehicle for dynamic exchange and interaction between civilizations. We enthusiastically issue this Shanghai Declaration as a summary of the substantive achievements of the Shanghai Expo and an expression of the shared aspirations of people around the world for a "Better City, Better Life."
We aspire to build cities that establish harmony between diverse people, between development and environment, between cultural legacies and future innovations. A City of Harmony reveals itself when people are in harmony with nature, society, and themselves, and when there is also harmony between generations.
為此，我們共同倡議，創造面向未來的生態文明。城市應尊重自然、優化生態環境，加強綜合治理，促進發展方式轉變，推廣可再生能源利用，建設低碳的生態城市。大力倡導資源節約、環境友好的生產和生活方式，共同創造人與環境和諧相處的生態文明。追求包容協調的增長方式，城市應統籌經濟和社會的均衡發展，注重公平與效率的良性互動，創造權力共享、機會均等和公平競爭的制度環境，努力縮小收入差距，使每個居民都能分享城市經濟發展成果，充分實現個體成長。
To this end, we join together in proposing:
To Establish an Ecological Civilization Oriented toward the Future
Cities should respect nature, consider the urban ecological environment as an asset, integrate environmental issues into urban planning and administration, and accelerate the transition to sustainable development. They should promote the use of renewable energy sources and build low-carbon eco-cities. They should strongly advocate for conservation of resources and promote environment-friendly manufacturing. Cities and their citizens should join together to create sustainable lifestyles and an ecological civilization in which people and environment co-exist in harmony.
