A bold tribute to the City of Light and Design Capital of the Brabant where Eindhoven, the largest city in the province of North Brabant and the fifth-largest city in the Netherlands, transformed itself from a small market town into one of Europe's great industrial and design cities through the extraordinary story of Philips, the electronics company founded by Gerard Philips in Eindhoven in 1891 to manufacture incandescent light bulbs, which grew into one of the largest electronics corporations in the world and shaped every aspect of the city's physical and cultural development for over a century, building workers' housing, hospitals, sports facilities, and cultural institutions that gave Eindhoven its distinctively planned, company-town character, and where Eindhoven's reinvention after Philips's industrial decline as a world capital of design and technology innovation, expressed through the Dutch Design Week held each October as the largest design event in northern Europe, the Design Academy Eindhoven, one of the world's most influential design schools, and the High Tech Campus Eindhoven housing hundreds of technology companies in a park known as the Smartest Square Kilometre in the World, demonstrates the remarkable capacity of post-industrial cities to reinvent themselves through creativity and knowledge.
