Design-Driven Local Cultural Innovation and Development
以设计带动在在文化创新发展

Abstract

Since its opening as a port in the 1860s, Kobe has actively absorbed foreign culture and formed an open, diverse and innovative city. Design has played a key role in the development of Kobe, not only promoting post-disaster reconstruction, but also attracting tourists by creating unique landscapes, promoting the development of the cultural tourism industry, and penetrating into the daily lives of citizens to improve the quality of life.

In order to fur ther promote the modernization and sustainable development of the city, Kobe joined UCCN as "City of Design" in 2008 and implemented the "Design City Kobe" strategy to use design as the core driving force of urban development. This strategy emphasizes citizen participation and co-creation, making full use of Kobe’s unique geographical, cultural and industrial resources to inject new vitality into the city.

Kobe also attaches great importance to the cultivation of creative power. Through platforms such as the Kobe Design Creative Center, the Kobe Biennale and KIITO:300, Kobe has nurtured a wealth of creative power and talent. These platforms not only provide opportunities for creative talents to showcase their talents, but also promote communication and cooperation between different fields. Through these measures, Kobe has created a strong creative atmosphere, which will continue to promote the progress and development of the city and inject more vitality and potential into Kobe's future.

摘要

神户，自19世纪60年代开港以来，积极吸收外来文化，形成了开放、多元、创新的城市特质。设计在神户的发展历程中发挥了关键作用，不仅推动了灾后重建，还通过创造独特的景观吸引游客，促进文旅产业的发展，并深入市民日常生活，提高了生活质量。

为了进一步推动城市的现代化和可持续发展，神户在2008年成为“UCCN 设计之都”，并实施了“设计之都神户”战路，将设计作为城市发展的核心动力。这一战略强调市民的参与和共创，充分利用神户独特的地理、文化和产业资源，为城市注入新的活力。

神户还高度重视创总力量的培养。通过神户设计创总中心、神户双年展和KIITO:300等平台，神户已经孕育了丰富的创意力量和人才。这些平台不仅为创意人才提供了展示才华的机会，还促进了不同领域之间的交流与合作。神户通过这些举措营造了浓厚的创意氛围，将持续推动城市的进步与发展，为神户的未来注入更多的活力与潜力。
