社会责任与公民设计

Abstract

Mexico City, the capital of the United Mexican States and a hub center for politics, economy, culture, and other fields, is also one of the largest cities in the world. It joined UCCN as "City of Design" in 2017 and honored as "World Design Capital" by WDO in 2018, Mexico City boasts numerous international activity platforms. In today's era where design has become an important measure of social and economic change, these international recognitions help promote the inheritance of traditional handicrafts in Mexico City. Young Mexican designers coexist harmoniously with ancient colors, natural materials, and artisan skills, mutually inspiring new brilliance. Various activities provide designers with more opportunities to express their ideas and showcase their efforts to build a more livable and international city. At the same time, Mexican design always emphasizes its social responsibility, advancing the role of design and creativity in social and cultural changes within the city's cultural context. The collision and fusion of top-down social care and bottom-up design skills make design a driving force for urban development and social change.

墨西哥城，是墨西哥合众国首都暨政治、经济、文化等众多领域的枢纽中心，也是世界上最大的都市之一。墨西哥城于2017年被评为“UCCN设计之都”，于2018年获得“世界设计之都（WDC）”的称号。

墨西哥城拥有众多国际化活动平台，在设计已然成为衡量新时期社会和经济变革重要因素的当下，这些国际认可有助于推动墨西哥城原生地区手工艺的传承，年轻的墨西哥设计师与古老的色彩、天然材料和工匠技能和谐共存，并相互激发出新的光彩。各类活动给予设计界人士更多机会来表达他们的想法，并且去展示他们对建设更宜居、更国际化的城市的努力。同时，墨西哥设计始终重视设计的社会责任，在城市的文脉中，推进设计与创意在社会与文化变化中的推动作用。自上而下的社会关怀与自下而上的设计技能碰撞融合，使设计成为了城市发展与社会变革的驱动力。
