Centered on the interplay of design thinking, urban development and international exchange, the Converging Futures · Taoyuan International Design Forum invites four key practitioners in urban design, design governance, and sustainable development from Japan, South Korea, and Singapore. Together, they share how design serves as a pivotal driving force for city growth across policy, culture, public spaces, and urban branding. Through practical case studies from diverse cities and cross-disciplinary dialogues, the forum explores how design addresses current urban challenges while fostering cross-city exchanges and collaborations. Furthermore, the forum gathers representatives from prominent Asian urban design organizations and design education institutions spanning Nagoya, Seoul, and Singapore to share their practical experience and strategic thinking. By adopting a global perspective, the forum illustrates how design shapes cities while prompting us to rethink the future possibilities of Taoyuan.
