Seoul Design International Forum 2022

2022 Seoul Design International Forum 

○ October 5 (Wed) 2022, 13:00~18:00(KST)
○ Live stream (www.sdif.org)
○ Theme: DESIGN x Seoul : How does design enrich our future?

Based on the vision to “Create Value through Design,” the Seoul Metropolitan Government implements its various design policies ranging from the macro plans for landscape to the micro plans for service improvement. To ensure that citizens can fully savor the attractiveness of natural environment and spaces across the city and enjoy thoughtful care and respect, the role of design in the future society will be even greater. This forum held with the theme, “DESIGN x Seoul: How Does Design Enrich Our Future,” will learn how design serves as an engine for enhancing values of cities through various examples of cities. Also, it will review how citizens in those cities enjoy these value. 

Moreover, it will provide you with insights on how design can be combined with municipal policies, such as welfare, culture and transportation policies, strategically facilitate cooperation within an organization, and upgrade the level of service across the policies. 

We wish that this forum can be a special experience for you to expand your view about the role of design, which is a key strategy for the future society. 
We look forward to your great interest and participation.
