Cities, culture, creativity : leveraging culture and creativity for sustainable urban development and inclusive growth

‘Cities, Culture, and Creativity’ (CCC) provides guiding principles and a CCC Framework, developed by UNESCO and the World Bank, to support cities in unlocking the power of cultural and creative industries for sustainable urban evelopment, city competitiveness, and social inclusion. Drawing from global studies and the experiences of nine diverse cities from across the world, the CCC Framework offers concrete guidance for the range of actors (city, state, and national governments; creative industry and related private-sector organizations; creatives; culture professionals and civil society) to harness culture and creativity with a view to boosting their local creative economies and building resilient, inclusive, and dynamic cities as well as to recover from the current COVID-19 crisis.
