UNESCO believes that for cities to become truly liveable places, we need innovation in all spheres of human activity.

 

Innovation – whether it be social, cultural, educational or in science and technology – strengthens resilience and builds more cohesive societies.

 

City stakeholders are the engines of sustainable development at the local level, and can offer valuable success stories and experiences.

 

UNESCO, as a laboratory of ideas and a catalyst for international dialogue, brings these city stakeholders together to share good practices and strengthen action towards the sustainable development of cities. 

Heading 5

The platform gives UNESCO a more strategic comprehensive vision through coordinated action, and reinforces the linkages between all our areas of action in education, culture, the natural and human sciences, as well as communication and information.

 

The bedrock of our approach is a people-centered philosophy and participatory decision-making so that all city-dwellers, including the most vulnerable, have a say in their collective future. 

Excerpt from UNESCO Cities Platform Updates

Creative Cities

What is a UNESCO Creative City?

Creativity & Cities:

A city placing creativity and cultural industries at the heart of its development plan at the local level and cooperating actively at the international level.

Today, cities are home to more than half of the world’s population and represent three quarters of its economic activity, including a large share of the creative economy.
