"UrbanNICEzation" is the theme of the 6th edition of Bangkok Design Week which will take place in nine districts across the city beginning on Saturday and running to Feb 12.
Organised by Creative Economy Agency (CEA) in collaboration with 60 public- and private-sector partners with the aim of making Bangkok a nicer city and promoting it as a Unesco City of Design, the festival incorporates a theme defined by six aspects -- environment, mobility, culture, business, community and diversity.
