How CEA is transforming creative districts in Thailand into neighborhoods that are desirable to "live, visit, and invest” through the Thailand Creative District Network (TCDN).

One of the main missions of the Creative Economy Agency (Public Organization), or CEA, is to promote and push "creative districts and cities" by bringing together community members and experts from various fields as well as combining creativity and innovation to create new goods and services that fit the area's needs and context. This will generate local and national economic value; transform the district into a desirable place to live, visit, and invest; and sustainably improve the quality of life and environment.

Since 2019, CEA has been implementing the TCDN project with the aim of creating at least 30 creative cities and districts across Thailand by 2022. It also supports the effort to prepare the cities to join the UNESCO Creative Network (UCCN).

Join us as we unravel the myriad components that go into creating the creative neighborhoods and cities in the TCDN network. A creative city is not the product of a single individual, but rather the outcome of genuine collaboration across all sectors.
