Dundee, City of Design

Dundee is the UK’s first and only UNESCO City of Design. The global designation as a Creative City acknowledges Dundee’s rich design heritage, its thriving contemporary design sector and a city committed to using design to solve problems and make Dundee a better place to live.

We believe in the power of design and the essential place of designers in the life of its city. The programmes we run celebrate and demonstrate the impact of design, embrace co-design, promote talent, engage designers in decision making and collaborate with other UNESCO Cities of Design.
