Should large scale exhibitions be brought back?

In the late 19th and early 20th century, large exhibitions were staged in cities across the US and the UK, such as the Pan-American exhibition of 1901 in Buffalo and the Empire Exhibition of 1938 in Glasgow. Usually as a means of showcasing industrial and cultural advancements.

Should something similar be staged today?
Why do you think they are not?

Much has been said of the Exposition Universelle that took place in Paris in 1889. As well as the 1933 World's Fair that was in Chicago and the 1939 World's Fair '"the World of Tomorrow" that was in NYC-and still lets dreamers dream.

I'd like to see them return but I believe on like the 1889 one we are past. The romantic Paris of 1885-1928 is long gone. And while the city should not matter but rather the content marketing has changed and well as what many find entertaining.
