The announcement was recently made by UNESCO: Querétaro, a Creative City of Design since 2019, has been designated to host the 2025 Annual Conference of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network (UCCN). The theme of the conference will be “Sharing cities”.
The UCCN Annual Conference constitutes a unique platform for exchange, bringing together Creative Cities worldwide to foster culture and creativity enabled solutions, in order to tackle contemporary urban challenges.
