Over the past three years, the world has witnessed the high-standard planning and construction of Xiongan, and Xiongan has also attracted the design force from all over the world.
As more and more Chinese cities are named as the "design capital" by UNESCO, it has become a consensus that design is the driving force to promote high-quality urban development. Compared with Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and other domestic "design capital" cities, Xiongan is at "world vision, international standards" urban development positioning with a kind of open and exploration gene. On April 20th, 2018, one year after the Xiongan new area was set up, "the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on the ‘Hebei Xiongan new area planning outline' "has been released. It depicted a beautiful blueprint of Xiongan new area--green ecological livable urban district, innovation-driven development area, coordinated development demonstration area, and open development area. In the "Hebei Xiongan new area planning guidelines", the concept of world vision, international standard, Chinese characteristics and high position are through it all-we select 12 first-class team from home and abroad in 279 planning agencies to carry out the new urban design international consultancy, which converges more than 60 academicians and planning building great master as well as more than 300 famous experts in the world to participate in the planning and research.
The successful convening of the first Hebei International Industrial Design Week in 2018 is not only a grand event for the design industry but also an important promoter for promoting the close integration of design with urban construction and industrial development. At the first design week, the director of the Finnish Design Museum, Juka Savolion, emphasized the value and possibility of design.

After the end of the first design week, a series of cooperative project of China and Finland were launched, and the design market of the two countries was cultivated, creating an experimental space for the exploration of the future city.
The year 2019 coincides with the 100th anniversary of Bauhaus design, and a large scale of design commemorative activities have been held in China. The Bauhaus caravan has started its China tour and the German handcraft tour has also come to Xiongan, the "city of the future". The design week combine Bauhaus and German precision design concept in a variety of activities. Feng Changhong, Shenzhen industrial design industry association executive vice President and secretary-general, director of Hebei industrial design innovation center, believes that the fusion of Bauhaus design and technology emphasizes three core concepts: humanist, nature and objectivity, which have been integrated into the new city of future, green, ecology, high-tech comprehensively. The introduction of the design concept will be beneficial to boost Xiongan building a green ecological livable urban district, innovation-driven development area, the coordinated development demonstration area, and open development area.
From November 21st to 27th, 2019, with the theme of "Design Force Empowers the City of the Future", the second HIDW focused on international design forward-looking concepts such as intelligent design, green design and service design, and the development trend of the industry. Urban design and standards requirements are explored.
