Policy forum: Design and public policy a two way street.

Co-hosted organized by the Econcult of the University of Valencia and the Valencia Capital Association of Disseny, with the support of Centro Cultural La Nau of University of Valencia, La Ciutat de les Artes i les Ciencies, and the municipal government from Valencia.

This forum aims to explore a two-way street approach for design policy, advocating for favorable public policy to foster urban design-enabled innovation on the one hand, and on the other hand, using good design to empower public policymaking.

By doing so, the forum creates a public arena to debate, discuss and explain why and how innovators in the public and private sectors in Europe can benefit from integrating design with the urban dimension and further to formulate proposals for vertical policy measures – to be adopted at European Union (EU), Member State (MS) and Regional levels – that can boost the design capacity and capability of European innovation actors and systems.

Based on the latest results of the DESIGNSCAPES project and other parallel studies, the forum will deliver scientific and empirical evidence around the world to show how design enables urban innovation to address a series of global challenges, with a particular focus on environmental sustainability, digital economies, wellbeing and European values.


As one of the meaningful milestones, a Green Paper on Design-enabled Innovation in Urban Environment will be presented at the forum to discuss and consolidate in order to shape recommended policy actions for European cities. 

DESIGNSCAPES is a European H2020 project with an overarching aim of exploiting potential of urban environments in highest possible number of European cities to encourage the uptake and further enhancement and up scaling of design-enabled innovation by existing enterprises, start-up companies, public authorities and agencies, and other urban stakeholders.

More than 50 experts will lead the event towards design and public policy.
