宁波奉化城市展览馆坐落在6.6万平方米的开阔场地内，是融合了景观公园的城市规划展览馆。于2019年11月试运营，2020年正式投入使用。展览馆建筑面积约1.8万平方米，独特的造型将为奉化提供一处新的城市形象标识，也成为当地市民公共生活的新场所。

Rising from an open site of 66,000 m2, Ningbo Fenghua Urban Exhibition Center presents exhibitions relating to urban planning within a setting of landscape park. The Center was put into trial operation in November 2019 and officially opened in 2020. With a gross floor area of about 18,000 m2, it provides another urban landmark in Fenghua with unique architectural form, and a new place for the local citizens’ public life.

考察城市展览馆的发展史，开放性、公共性成为其逐渐明确的关键词，城市科普中心是展示城市形象的窗口,也是市民参与城市规划的重要渠道。如何体现其主题性与开放性是设计中需要解决的重要问题。

The evolution of urban exhibition centers has identified two key words, i.e. openness and publicness. The urban knowledge dissemination center is a window to showcase the image of the city, and an important channel for citizens to participate in urban planning. Therefore how to embody the theme and openness of the facility becomes a key issue in design.
