Brief information:
This project will support Ha Noi City in a new strategic visioning exercise and pilot the implementation of this vision of a Creative City of Design, following the recent designation by UNESCO.

The active participation of the youth will also be vital to realize this ambitious vision.

Overall objectives:
- Assist Ha Noi City in formulating a long-term, strategic vision for the inclusive, transformative, and sustainable development of the city by leveraging two key assets: its creative young workforce and its rich cultural heritage
- Foster the necessary conditions (policies, spaces, resources) for youth to articulate and act on creative ideas to influence the new development agenda of Ha Noi as a Creative City towards a Creative Capital
- Support the incorporation of best practices for youth-owned creatie enterprises with a particular focus on their product marketing and commercialization to enhance their economic performance and contribution to the national economy.
