About World Design Capital Frankfurt RheinMain 2026 “Design for Democracy. Atmospheres for a better life”
In autumn 2023, the Montreal-based World Design Organization® (WDO) named the Frankfurt RheinMain region as World Design Capital® 2026 (WDC 2026). The title recognises cities for their effective use of design to promote cultural, economic, social and ecological development. With the theme “Design for Democracy. Atmospheres for a better life”, the Frankfurt Rhine-Main region will encourage citizens, students, creative professionals, scientists, architects, politicians and designers to promote design ideas for social, urban and cultural developments.
