城市设计（生态）系统：关于米兰设计周的思考 (translation: The Design (Eco)System: Research and Reflections on Milan Design Week)

Milan Design (Eco) System is a research project, devised and funded by the Salone del Mobile. Milano, with scientific oversight by the Department of Designof Politecnico di Milano. The objective of the project was to share a first guide for the systematic analysis of a globally unique event: the Milan Design Week, of which the Salone del Mobile fair is an international catalyst and an accelerator of business and project culture, along with the increasingly extensive programme of events that has been transforming the city into a global stage in April for many years, with a plurality of governance. In the report, Salone del Mobile. Milano and Milan Design Week are observed, discussing their common local impact, inspiring reflections for the Design ecosystem of Milan, which also provide a paradigm reference for creative cities around the world. The study has found that the key to its success lies in the organic integration of design activities and urban identity to form a unique cultural and economic model. Through the coordinated operation of the Salone del Mobile. Milano and Milan Design Week, the city has built an innovative network that emphasizes public-private collaboration, business and culture, and a dynamically balanced design ecosystem, while creating the world's most vital urban creative design platform mechanism. This system has achieved in-depth interaction between the public, creative activities and urban spaces, and continues to strengthen Milan's global influence as a "Design City". The work that has been done by the Design Strategies Lab (directed by Prof. Francesco Zurlo) and the Design Policy Lab (directed by Prof. Stefano Maffei) from POLIMI is partly included in this edition of report so as to share more knowledgeable experience with the Cities of Design in China hoping to open up more possible dialogues for future exchange.
