This paper aims to examine the progressive diffusion and expansion of the UNESCO Creative Cities network, divided into seven areas corresponding to as many cultural sectors: music, literature, folk art, design, visual arts, gastronomy, cinema. With this title, cities can be seen on a world stage, share their experiences, support each other and focus much more on quality tourism, enhancing their capacities and increasing the presence of their cultural products on national and international markets. With this programme, UNESCO aims to create a link between cities able to support and to make cultural creativity an essential element for its economic development; offering local operators an international platform on which to channel the creative energy of their cities and thus laying the foundations for projecting local experiences into a global context. The aim is to promote the cultural industry, but also a new type of tourism, sustainable, inclusive and based on quality and culture. The role of administrative law is therefore to rethink cities in a dimension increasingly inclined to welcome innovative and cultural ideas, rethink public spaces, where creativity takes place, providing legal instruments to strengthen citizens' participation in cultural life and to integrate culture into sustainable urban development policies.

Abstract
This paper aims to examine the progressive diffusion and expansion of the UNESCO Creative Cities network, divided into seven areas corresponding to as many cultural sectors: music, literature, folk art, design, visual arts, gastronomy, cinema. With this title, cities can be seen on a world stage, share their experiences, support each other and focus much more on quality tourism, enhancing their capacities and increasing the presence of their cultural products on national and international markets. With this programme, UNESCO aims to create a link between cities able to support and to make cultural creativity an essential element for its economic development; offering local operators an international platform on which to channel the creative energy of their cities and thus laying the foundations for projecting local experiences into a global context. The aim is to promote the cultural industry, but also a new type of tourism, sustainable, inclusive and based on quality and culture. The role of administrative law is therefore to rethink cities in a dimension increasingly inclined to welcome innovative and cultural ideas, rethink public spaces, where creativity takes place, providing legal instruments to strengthen citizens' participation in cultural life and to integrate culture into sustainable urban development policies.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
