WORLD DESIGN CAPITAL

The World Design Capital® programme promotes and encourages the use of design to further the economic, social, cultural, and environmental development of the world's cities... The World Design Organization (WDO)™, formerly known as the International Council of Societies of Industrial Design (Icsid), is an international non-governmental organization that promotes the profession of industrial design and its ability to generate better products, systems, services, and experiences; better business and industry; and ultimately a better environment and society... Based in Montréal (Canada) since 2005, World Design Organization acknowledges that its Secretariat is located on the unceded Indigenous territory of the Kanien'kehá:ka. For centuries, these lands have served as a traditional gathering place for many nations and WDO honours the Indigenous leadership and knowledge that continues to shape this territory, and others around the world in which we work.

Primary location: Montreal Canada
