Design Matters—A city that is well-designed, ensuring a good life.

Everyone came together to act and pool their creativity to drive the city forward, because Bangkok’s betterment isn’t any one person’s responsibility.
5. Creative districts present not only design but also cultural assets
As ‘Creative Districts’ are a key element of Bangkok Design Week, the 15 main districts showcase not only creative projects and activities but also local cultural assets from various areas. By harnessing the unique resources of diverse areas, these districts aim to maximize benefits by further developing cultural assets into contemporary products and services This creates added value that sets them apart and bolsters the international image of the country.
6. Revitalizing Bangkok as the city of creativity and design
Bangkok Design Week serves as a platform for ‘Festivalisation’ – the utilization of a festival concept and experience-building to drive the dynamics of a city, sustaining the momentum even after the festival concludes. The focus is also on inspiring people and the events’ host locales to continue driving activities in the long term. Therefore, the festival can revitalize neglected spaces with new stories, creating value for a locale and generating ideas to make a city more livable. Bangkok Design Week also connects people and fosters networks, linking creators and promoting collaboration.
