Detroit Named UNESCO City of Design

Detroit has been recently recognized as the United States’ first official City of Design by UNESCO and its Creative Cities Network. The city has been lauded for its cultural renaissance, with companies like Shinola and a slew of new hotels, restaurants, and galleries returning focus to a city that were once the epicenter of American industrialism. A total of 116 cities from 54 countries make up the network, and are recognized for their contributions across seven creative fields, including crafts and folk art, design, film, gastronomy, literature, music and media arts. The application to UNESCO was put forth by DC3, a five-year-old network founded by Business Leaders for Michigan and committed to fostering creative fields in the state.
