Berlin appointed new UNESCO City of Design
In November 2005 UNESCO appointed Berlin – as the first city in Europe – to the “Creative Cities Network under the framework of UNESCO’s Global Alliance for Cultural Diversity” and, on 18 January, UNESCO will award Berlin the title of “City of Design” in a special ceremony followed by a networking meeting of UNESCO Creative Cities from Europe, Latin America and Asia on the 19th January. |

The Creative Cities Network is designed to forge new models of public/private partnerships at city level that can help to unlock the creative, social and economic potential of cultural industries. As the first German city to be appointed to the Network, Berlin has demonstrated remarkable social, economic and cultural achievements in the field of design. With a good grasp of the economic impact of its design industry, the city of Berlin stands out as an example in coordinating policy, training and networking support for its stakeholders.
