The success or failure of the highly anticipated Osaka Expo will largely hinge on the effective use of its legacy. The organizers are focusing on returning value to the society, exploiting the potential of the Expo's inherent cultural, educational, and infrastructural legacies. Correct implementation of these strategies will play a crucial part in deciding whether the event would serve as a mere one-off spectacle or lead to a sustainable cultural and economic platform.

In Japan, the Osaka Expo is seen as a golden opportunity to boost tourism and global exposure. The focus on the utilization of the Expo's legacy reflects the mindset of recycling and sustainability valued highly in Japanese society.

In the US or EU, similar events, such as the World's Fairs or the Olympics, have also been used strategically to drive socio-cultural influence and long-term infrastructure development. The legacy utilization has been a common strategy to ensure the events provide lasting benefits to the host cities.
