Abstract:

To manage urban risks which are often complex and likely to go out of control, it is highly necessary to establish integrated and highlyeffective risk control system and public security management system so that emergency response and postaccident management would give way to the proactive public risk management system. The concentration of materials in modern superlarge city and its vulnerability add to the difficulty of public safety management. The public safety management system of "integrating seven parties into one" practiced during the course of Shanghai Expo focused on risk prevention, and has been proved very effective. The successful experience of Shanghai Expo helps to better understand the features and developmental tendency of public safety management in superlarge cities and also provides research insights for optimizing urban risk control system and upgrading public safety management system.

Key words: Risk control, Shanghai Expo, public safety
