SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
In 2009, Izmir Metropolitan Municipality organized a Culture and Art Workshop and introduced a three-step vision with the contributions of professionals from different disciplines and people who love Izmir. It was envisaged that Ġzmir would be a city of design and innovation to create an attractive focus in the Mediterranean. In the last ten years, this vision has been adopted by officials in Izmir. This study aims to examine Ġzmir's city identity, design culture in Ġzmir and Ġzmir's World Design Capital candidacy, identify its deficiencies and the areas where it could be developed and its potential, and understand how it could win this title by making changes in its possible new application for another year as World Design Capital. A survey was prepared for the residents of Ġzmir and in-depth interviews were made with nine professionals who worked and/or be informed about Izmir's process of being a design city and Izmir's candidacy for World Design Capital 2020.
