Breads of the Creative Cities

Fourth Edition – 2023 – “Future Proof Cities”

In collaboration with Istanbul UCC of Design, hosting city of the XV UCCN Annual Conference in 2023, the 4th edition of the project will be characterized by new highlights:

A specific sub-project for all the Turkish UCCs: “Breads of the Creative Cities” builder of social cohesion and mutual respect (UN2030 SDG 11) with a dedicated booklet describing the different bread traditions of the 7 UCCs from Turkey.
A new story format for the best practices applied by the UCCs in their territory.
Round table with delegates and bakers of the participating UCCs and itineraries to visit bakeries in Istanbul, during UCCN XV.
The latest printed edition of “Breads of the Creative Cities” interactive book.

One of the main goals of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network is “Sharing of Best Practices”. To help achieve this goal, the Creative Knowledge Foundation and Tucson City of Gastronomy, in collaboration with Istanbul UNESCO Creative City of Design, are collecting information about the best practices around the world related to the bread value chain.
The best practices collected will be part of a digital library. In addition, the most interesting will be presented during the XV Annual Meeting in Istanbul by Focal Points or representatives of the creative cities.
