Traditional Industries Rejuvenate Design City
传统产业焕新设计名城

Abstract

Whanganui, a coastal city on the southwest coast of New Zealand's North Island, has nurtured a diverse background of industry development due to its unique location and rich cultural resources. The city is not only an important transportation hub in New Zealand, but also a rapidly emerging leader in the design, art and creative industries in recent years. Whanganui has embraced the opportunities of globalization with openness and innovation, combining traditional industries with modern design to diversify the city's economy.

Traditional manufacturing still plays an important role in Whanganui's industrial development. Manufacturing industries such as furniture, ships and motorcycles have attracted global consumers with their exquisite craftsmanship and unique designs. In particular, local furniture manufacturers, such as Soren Mobler and Q-West, have become one of the representatives of New Zealand design, as their products are not only popular in the domestic market, but also exported overseas. In addition, industrial design in Whanganui is also quite distinctive, especially the design and production of glass crafts, which is world-renowned. The existence of organizations such as the New Zealand Glassworks has not only cultivated a large number of glass craft talents, but also injected new vitality into Whanganui's industrial design industry. At the same time, Whanganui also focuses on the development of the service industry, especially in the field of social service design, through the establishment of community service spaces and other initiatives to enhance the quality of life in the city and the sense of well-being of its residents.

Wanganui's industries are promising, and the organic combination of traditional manufacturing and modern design industries makes Wanganui unique in the global creative industries. As the global demand for creative industries continues to grow, Whanganui will continue to capitalize on its strengths in design, art and manufacturing to drive the city's continued economic prosperity. At the same time, the city will further strengthen its communication and cooperation with the international community, attracting more design talent and innovative resources, and working together to promote Whanganui's growing influence in the global creative industries.
