The Network in Canada
The Network's cities are organized into seven categories: crafts and folk arts, design, film, gastronomy, literature, media arts and music. Three Canadian cities are part of UNESCO's Creative Cities Network, in three different areas:
- Montréal, Creative City of Design since 2006
- Quebec City, Creative City of Literature since 2017
- Toronto, Creative City of Media Arts since 2017
Their sustainable urban development projects include international conferences and competitions, financial support to creators and designers, and collaboration with other creative cities around the world.
