Hanoi (VNA) – Hanoi has defined culturalresources as an important part in the building of a creative city as well as sustainabledevelopment of the capital.

Cultural resources include human resources,cultural heritage and products, and cultural infrastructure.

In order to optimise the resources, along with strengtheningleadership and direction in the field, the city has rolled out many solutionsin policy, planning, investment attraction, and personnel training, whilebuilding database and promoting its image.

After two years of entering the network, Hanoi has effectivelyexploited its potentials and strengths in the field of creative design,conducting the construction of many innovative and creative works and projects,contributing to the formation of a modern infrastructure system and thedevelopment of creative spaces.

However, there is much for the city to do to turn cultural resources intostrengths and motivation for its development. To date, the number of projectsrelated to the building of creative city has remained modest. The city also lacks unique creative products, while firms engaging in the production and business related to cultural products are mostly of small scale. The cultural industry of Hanoi is still modest compared to other creative cities in the world. 

As scheduled, the city has only one year to fulfil itscommitments stated in its dossiers for UNESCO Creative City Network./.
