Design as a catalyst for vibrant places and sustainable transformation
World Design Capital Frankfurt RheinMain 2026 stands for an extended understanding of design, which emphasises the power of design to reimagine spaces, shape social processes and create sustainable living environments. At IMEX Frankfurt 2025, WDC 2026 presents design as a strategic tool for urban design and sustainable change – from urban spaces and social places to participatory urban development projects. Innovative design concepts create places with identity, social value and lasting impact.
Together with Prof. Dr.-Ing. Paola Alfaro - d’Alençon, Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences, we will explore the potential of design to create a future worth experiencing.
