摘要

新加坡这座位于东南亚的岛国，在经历一系列政治、经济的动荡后，迅速调整，如今已成为高度发达的国家之一。除了金融业、旅游业等领头产业外，创意设计一直作为城市的发展策略为新加坡的各行各业赋能。众多优秀的设计师、创意设计企业是新加坡设计的原生动力，新加坡设计委员会则是“规划设计能源”、促进“设计动能迭代”的领航员，众多创意设计相关的愿景、蓝图、计划均由它提出，从设计平台的搭建到设计方法的实践，从将设计作为国家技能到通过设计使新加坡成为更具备人文性的国家。新加坡于2015年被评为联合国教科文组织创意城市网络“设计之都”，这是对新加坡设计国际化的一次推进，同时也是对新加坡设计的认可与表彰。新加坡以长远的规划、全面的策略、扎实的执行，将“设计驱动”融入了城市的方方面面，为致力于以设计驱动城市经济发展，正在经历生产力转型的城市树立了榜样。
