The International Council of Societies of Industrial Design (ICSID) announced today, that the City of Cape Town (South Africa) has been designated the World Design Capital (WDC) 2014.
Cape Town is the fourth city (after Torino, Seoul and Helsinki) to hold this biennial appointment and marks the first for the African continent.
For Cape Town, the WDC appointment comes exactly two decades after reaching democracy. Cape Town’s vision of design is based on socially responsible design, sustainability and innovation, with a focus on enhancing the city’s infrastructure to make it a more liveable African City.
Cape Town won the nomination in a short list that also included candidate cities Bilbao (Spain) and Dublin (Ireland).
