WDC NETWORK OF CITIES MEETING 2020 EDITION

The World Design Network of Cities Meeting is a forum that brings together municipal representatives of past WDC designated cities. Facilitated by WDO, this event aims to highlight the successes in WDC legacy programmes, and provide an opportunity for WDC designated cities to convene and activate networks for collaborative action. As cities grapple with the challenges of rapid urbanization, economic disparity, the push for sustainable reform and recently a global pandemic and economic crisis, the Network of Cities Meeting offers an international platform for Mayors and key urban development policymakers to connect and exchange insights about the role of design-led solutions in building sustainable, equitable and prosperous cities.

WDC NETWORK OF CITIES MEETING / About World Design Capital World Design Capital® (WDC), designated every two years by the World Design Organization™ (WDO), recognizes cities for their effective use of design to drive economic, social, cultural, and environmental development. Through a year-long programme of events, the designated city showcases best practices in sustainable design-led urban policy and innovation that improve quality of life.

WDC NETWORK OF CITIES MEETING / About World Design Organization

World Design Organization (WDO)® is an international non-governmental organization that promotes the profession of industrial design and its ability to generate better products and systems, better business and industry, and ultimately a better environment and society. As the international voice for industrial design, WDO advocates, promotes, and shares knowledge of industrial design-driven innovation that has the power to create a better world. International programmes, which includes World Design Capital®, are designed to enable collaborations between the global industrial design community, to identify challenges and opportunities, and to address some of the world's most significant challenges, from a design point of view.

WDC NETWORK OF CITIES MEETING / About NETWORK OF CITIES MEETING 2020 Edition The 2020 edition of the WDC NETWORK OF CITIES MEETING will address the question: “How to collaborate and use design as a tool for motivating citizens, helping to build new economic models and drawing up effective public policies.” Using this question as a springboard, this will be an opportunity for former and future World Design Capitals to share and exchange ideas in three key areas: 8 FOCUS 1: World Design Capital heritage, to promote sustainable development of regions and improve citizens’ quality of life; 8 FOCUS 2: dealing with the Covid-19 crisis by following a design and innovation approach; 8 FOCUS 3: evaluation and reaffirmation of the role of design as an essential tool for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. We initially proposed that the World Design Capitals “sign” a joint declaration at the end of the WDC NETWORK OF CITIES MEETING. This declaration draft, we shared, focus on strengthening our communities in all areas through design and innovation and conclude with the World Design Capitals commitment to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).
