Geelong: UNESCO City of Design |
Geelong is Australia's only UNESCO City of Design, an evolving, dynamic city with a deep sense of place and a strong industrial past. We embrace change to build a Clever and Creative Future.
Geelong has a long and proud history as a creative city and a leader in design. On 31 October 2017 Geelong was designated a member of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network (UCCN). The City of Design designation is about using creativity and innovation to build more sustainable, resilient and inclusive communities. It fits perfectly with our 30-year, community-led vision to be internationally recognised as a clever and creative city-region.
Geelong is one of 43 Cities of Design in the UCCN. Our designation opens up opportunities to showcase and celebrate our achievements on an international stage. We'll learn from and share knowledge to improve our industrial and commercial activities, our urban form and our liveability.
Since our designation we've embedded design as a key outcome of our community's vision for a clever and creative future. We've integrated tangible principles to drive our design-driven work program and delivered a suite of initiatives to spotlight design, designers, creatives and the diverse sectors where design is critical to a sustainable future.
Global recognition of our creative heritage and design-driven future
