Call for Submissions: Paris Design Summit, France

The Paris Design Summit consists of a major French- and English-language multidisciplinary international Congress supported by an Exhibition of innovation-focused partners fully integrated with a Roundtable summit developing the strategic framework.

The Paris Design Summit is the result of various action calls to the international community encompassing design, architecture, landscape architecture, and urban planning. In October 2015, several primary international design organizations met in Gwangju, South Korea to envision an environmentally and economically sustainable, socially equitable and culturally diverse planet. Then, on October 24, 2017, nearly 20 international associations in architecture, urban planning and design signed the first declaration outlining the role and impact their professions can play in fostering a better planet, resulting in the Déclaration de Montréal sur le Design (Montreal Design Declaration).

Following this successful first phase, we at the PDS, are launching the next phase of this collaborative project, the World Sustainable Design Framework, whose first action is the Paris Design Summit in February 2019. This strategy not only responds to the call launched in Montreal but also to the call of the World Urban Campaign in Kuala Lumpur last February and the Sustainable Development Goals of 2030. What are your solutions? How can your projects contribute innovatively to creating a better world?
