Montreal is one of the three cities that received the UNESCO City of Design designation along with Berlin and Buenos Aires three years ago. Hélène Godin, from Sid Lee, started the creation of posters to show the cultural assets of our city.

Berlin followed Montreal’s example with the project “CODE – The Create Berlin poster contest”and established a contest involving 300 creatives from all around the world that propose a poster that represents Berlin as a UNESCO City of Design. The poster Sid Lee Collective has created for this project is titled: “TWO UNESCO CITIES OF DESIGN UNITED ON A COMMON GROUND”.
