WDO announces Selection Committee for World Design Capital® 2022

Montreal (Canada) 20 December 2018 – The World Design Organization (WDO)® today announced the official composition of the international Selection Committee for the World Design Capital® (WDC) 2022 designation. The organization had launched the bid process earlier in October.

The international  Selection Committee for the 2022 designation will consist of:

  • Dr. Luisa Bocchietto, WDO President
  • Mr. James Anderson, Head of Cities, Bloomberg Philanthropies
  • Mr. Mauro Porcini, Senior Vice President and Chief Design Officer, PepsiCo

Their evaluation is based on a number of criteria, including the ways in which citizens benefit from the use of design in city planning, the capacity to organize and finance a year-long programme of design events, the mobilization and participation of the wider design community, the general population and visitors, as well as the fostering of a wider dialogue on urban revitalization strategies.
