Creative Cities: Mapping creativity driven cities

Deusto Cities Lab has recently published a report collecting the experiences of some of the cities member of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network (UCCN) that have developed successful projects to achieve urban transformation, social inclusion, economic development and cultural prosperity through creativity.

Based on Deusto Cities Lab’s approach, the document Creative Cities: Mapping creativity driven cities, presents 12 best practices divided into 4 categories: coopetitiveness, creativity, cohesion and compactness.

This research work contributes to the work that UNESCO is carrying out to identify specific tools to promote, protect and safeguard culture, cultural diversity and creativity as key driving forces for the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals.
