Developing a Creative City

By Phitsanu Thepthong

Chiang Mai Creative City (CCC) is an initiative to put in place the foundations, people, connections, marketing and infrastructure to develop Chiang Mai as a world-class centre of creativity and innovation. The initial focus is on the IT sector, as both a key industry in itself and an enabler of creativity in other sectors and is a collaboration between tertiary education institutes and the private sector and is in line with the Thai Government’s vision to develop the creative economy within the country.

The CCC was initiated in Chiang Mai earlier this year, with a goal to improving quality of life and improving the economy. Chiang Mai is suitable for coping with the creative economy and IT sector, according to the CCC Development Steering Committee. They said it’s infrastructures for creative economy and social development are in line with charming historical and culture aspects.
