Creative Cities of Croatia is an innovative network that connects local authorities, creative professionals and communities with the aim of fostering sustainable development. Through the strategic management of creative and cultural resources, we create new investment opportunities, strengthen local economies and shape the recognizable identity of each city.

 

What are we doing?

  • We identify the potential of cities – we carry out targeted mapping of creative and cultural resources.
  • We develop strategies – we help cities create cultural resource management models that support local development.
  • We connect stakeholders – we build cooperation between the public, private and civil sectors.
  • We organize trainings – we empower local stakeholders through workshops and mentoring.
  • We support city branding – we help cities shape a recognizable identity that will attract investment and tourists.

Why is that important?

The development of creative industries not only contributes to cultural life, but also has a concrete economic impact. The cultural and creative sector can stimulate employment, improve the quality of life and increase the competitiveness of cities. Our approach enables cities to manage their resources wisely and ensure long-term sustainability.
