UNESCO and the World Bank published the report “Cities, Culture, Creativity” in 2021. The report asks under what conditions culture and creativity lead to thriving local economies, a better quality of urban life and social inclusion. Its answer is a framework with six enablers that measures the outcomes of culture and creativity in three categories: spatial, economic and social. Chapter three of the report reviews the experience of creative cities and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on them.
Chapter five is not part of the original report; Namafar added it to the Persian edition, and the views in this chapter are not those of UNESCO or the World Bank. Chapter five applies the same framework to Iranian cities. Six Iranian cities are members of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network, from Isfahan in handicrafts and folk art to Kashan in architecture, and seventeen Iranian cities and villages have received the title of World Craft City or World Craft Village.
