The field in which Tel Aviv is honored includes cities characterized by the existence of creative industries and cultural activities, promoted through the use of digital technology and media arts for the benefit of improving urban life.
All these characteristics are assessed through the accessibility of cultural events and products thanks to digital technology and other electronic art forms - the integration of these art forms in civil society and their ability to enhance media art projects.
Being included in the creative cities network is a great opportunity for Tel Aviv to continue developing activities, projects and other initiatives in the field of culture and media arts.
Tel Aviv-Yafo Mayor Ron Huldai said that Tel Aviv's recognition demonstrates the world's recognition of the city's contributions to the present and future - recognition of Tel Aviv as a vibrant center of cultural creativity and groundbreaking technology, creative industries...
In addition to the media arts sector, UNESCO also honours other cities in six other creative fields such as literature, film, music, crafts and folk arts, design and gastronomy.
