What does it mean to be the World Design Capital ?

Awarded every two years by the World Design Organization, the title of World Design Capital makes it possible to review the place of design through different themes. This can affect housing, global warming, the circular economy, collaborative life, etc. A wide variety of subjects which allow us to rethink our society and innovate.

The European Metropolis of Lille has stood out against Sydney in this competition. She succeeds Mexico City. An almost logical continuation in the metropolis’s approach to increasing its attractiveness. In fact, in 2004 Lille was elected European Capital of Culture. Since 2006, the Lille 3000 organization has been constantly developing the cultural offer. Its geographical location is also a major asset for international influence.
