Bangkok and Sukhothai have been included among 66 new members of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network (UCCN) in the latest listing published on October 30th. The UCCN was created in 2004 and promotes cooperation with and among cities that have identified creativity as a strategic factor for sustainable urban development.

 

“All over the world, these cities, each in their own way, make culture the pillar, not an accessory of their strategy”, said UNESCO director-general Audrey Azoulay as the organization announced the latest list, which is categorized by category, from gastronomy, literature, music and design, to film, crafts and folk art.

 

Bangkok was chosen in the design category, while Sukhothai, to the north of the capital, was selected for its crafts and folk art.
