In 2012, Espoo is one of the co-hosts of World Design Capital

Helsinki 2012 together with Helsinki, Vantaa, Kauniainen and Lahti.

The official programme for WDC Helsinki 2012 includes around 300 special

events and projects, all of which share the same goal: To find ways in which

design can be used to make cities more functional and better places.

For both residents and visitors.

Design can be old or it can be new. Small or large.

Beautiful or controversial. Visible or invisible. Often

design also serves a social purpose or the public inter-

est. Design can be found in everyday things that

visitors too can enjoy without even noticing:

Freewheeling bicycles, cleverly folded menus,

coffee mugs that sit perfectly in your hand, fully

reclining airplane seats, easy-to-read metro maps,

informative signposting and pleasant ferry terminals,

not to mention buses, trains and trams that always

run on schedule, regardless of the weather.

The WDC Helsinki 2012 programme

includes dozens of events and

exhibitions that are open to the public.

By no means all the events can fit in this

brochure, so visit our website for more

information: www.wdchelsinki2012.fi. Dear Traveller, welcome to the World

Design Capital Helsinki 2012.

Further information about WDC

Helsinki 2012 is available at
