Launched in 2004, UCCN aims to promote co-operation among cities that have identified creativity as a strategic factor for sustainable urban development. UCCN consists of seven categories including creative cities for crafts and folk art, design, film, gastronomy, literature, media arts and music. At present, 246 cities are in the network. In Thailand, four cities have earned the title. Phuket was named a creative city of gastronomy in 2015, Chiang Mai as a creative city of crafts and folk arts in 2017, Bangkok as a creative city of design and Sukhothai as a creative city of crafts and folk arts in 2019.
