Created in 2004, the Network brings together 69
cities from 32 countries that have identified creativity as a strategic
factor for sustainable urban development.
If your city is interest in joining this growing
Network, you may access the documents below and find out what it takes
and what it means to become a UNESCO Creative City.
In the light of the lessons learned from last year’s
call for applications, some changes have been implemented in the
current call. We invite cities interested in joining the network to read
carefully the documents below, before completing and submitting their
application form.
Key dates:
All applications must be submitted by email using
the official Application Form available below and must be received by

Following the evaluation process carried out by
internal and external consultations with independent experts and the
