As featured in Architectural Digest, DETROIT has been named UNESCO's first American City of Design, an honor that recognizes a city's design legacy and commitment to promote cultural and creative industries.

The city has been lauded as of late for its cultural renaissance (including by Architectural Digest), with companies like Shinola and a slew of new hotels, restaurants, and galleries returning focus to a city that was once the epicenter of American industrialism. A pride of place and a dedication to upholding this reputation make the future bright for Detroit—no doubt it will more than live up to UNESCO’s standards.
