    10 10









                 WORLD CITIES AND QUEEN OF THE NORTH
                Following in the footsteps of Mexico City, Taipei
              and Helsinki, it’s Lille’s time to shine as the proud
            northern city was crowned World Design Capital for
                2020, snatching the prize from Sydney’s grasp.


           When you use the word design in relation to cities
           it reverts to its original meaning in English which
           encompasses the conception, planning and delivery of
           a project. Beyond the tangible and esthetic challenges,
           the Metropolis should be seen not only as an ambitious
           urban architectural project, but also as an opportunity
           to improve the daily lives of its inhabitants: a delicate
           balance between economic development, sustainability
           and a new architectural legacy.
