设计周等城市节事活动，因其深远的城市形象、城市竞争力驱动效应，已经成为现代城市最重要的大型城市事件之一。

City festivals such as design weeks have become highly valued in modern cities as a powerful driver in urban competitiveness and urban image.

《赋·苏：设计赋能与苏州实践》是苏州国际设计周3周年之际的汇总图书。这不是一本仅仅展示设计情怀，抑或历史民俗的画册集锦，《城市中国》认为应将苏州国际设计周置于城市发展的历史洪流中，思考苏州的背景（城市发展脉络），盘点苏州的城市基础（城市建筑、产业、园林、水道），提炼苏州之所以成为苏州的文化要素（城市人、城市语言、剧集）；展现最值得人们想象的，关于城市未来的各种可能（文化新经济、空间活化、数字城市感知、城市更新）。同时，2020年新冠疫情激发了人们对后疫情时代“新日常”的想象，也在苏州的城市底板及苏州国际设计周的历史上留下了浓墨重彩的一笔（城市“新日常”）。

Enlivening Suzhou: Design-Driven Strategies and Practices is a publication compiled upon the closing of the 3rd Suzhou Design Week. Other than a mere collection of design works, traditional crafts and folk culture presented in Suzhou Design Week, the editorial team from Urban China hopes the book would bring critical reflections on Suzhou’s history (urban development), urban assets (architecture, industry, classical gardens, waterways), and essential cultural elements (people, dialect, traditional operas), upon which, the future potentials of Suzhou (new cultural economy, spatial revitalization, digital urban experience, urban regeneration) will be radically re-imagined. Additionally, in 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has brought forth imaginations of ‘the new normal’ in a post-pandemic society, leaving a significant mark in both the history of Suzhou and Suzhou Design Week (Suzhou’s ‘new normal’).
