WORLD DESIGN CAPITAL
2014
Cape Town Green Map is a fl agship project of
110% Green, an initiative of the Western Cape
Government, calling organisations to commit
to the ‘green economy.’
World Design Capital (WDC) is a biannual honour awarded by the International Council for
Societies of Industrial Design (ICSID), to one city across the globe, to show its commitment to
using design as a social, cultural and economic development tool.
Cape Town Green Map is proud to have been included in the WDC 2014 Bid Book, and
played host to the International ICSID judges visiting the city.
Design-led thinking has the potential to improve life, which is why Cape Town’s
World Design Capital 2014’s over-arching theme is ‘Live Design. Transform
Life.’
Our particular focus has become ‘Green by Design’ - projects and
products where environmental, social and cultural impacts inform
design and aim to transform life.
Green Map System accepted Cape Town’s
new category and icon, created by Design
Infestation – the fi rst addition since 2008 to
their internationally recognized set of icons.
