Design Council of Valencia

Coordinated by the Design Foundation, the aim of the Consell del Disseny (Design Council) is to help the Valencian city council to build an increasingly friendly, accessible, green and forward-looking city. This pioneering consultative body in Spain was approved by the Local Government Board of València City Council in July 2022 and finally constituted in September of the same year, born in the heat of World Design Capital Valencia 2022 as one of its most significant legacy projects and becoming the first design council of a city council in our country.
