Chiang Mai Creative City (Thai: เชียงใหม่เมืองสร้างสรรค์) is an initiative to develop Chiang Mai into a creative city. A creative city is a city where cultural and creative activities are an integral part of the city's economic and social functioning. The experience of other cities which have implemented such strategies has shown that they can be more successful (with meeting their development objectives) than cities which have not. On 31 October 2017, Chiang Mai has been designated as a UNESCO Crafts and Folk Art Creative Cities Network.
