Seven international experts have been appointed to the WDC 2024 Selection Committee.
WDO leverages their expertise in the fields of design, urban planning, and economic and social development to assess the applications received from cities vying for the WDC designation. The WDC Selection Committee vets each bid based on a number of criteria, including the opportunities in which citizens benefit from the use of design in city planning; the city’s capacity to organize and finance a year-long programme of design events; the mobilization and participation of the wider local design community, large sectors of the population and visitors; and the city’s capacity to foster of a wider dialogue on urban revitalization strategies.
