Bach Lien Huong, Director of the Ha Noi Department of Culture and Sports made the remark at an event on May 6 to introduce the Ha Noi Creative Activities Coordination Centre and to call for participation in the Ha Noi Creative Cultural Space Network.
Creative spaces have emerged as dynamic hubs for design, arts, crafts, and startups. These spaces are not only incubators of new ideas but also bridges between tradition and modernity, and between local and international communities.
To realise these goals, Ha Noi has implemented various coordinated initiatives, including new policies under the Capital Law; drafting a resolution to establish a Cultural Industry Centre and Cultural Trade and Service Zones to nurture and expand the creative ecosystem.
Ha Noi is also investing in creative infrastructure, proposing the adaptive reuse of industrial heritage and cultural facilities to form creative spaces. It seeks to enhance both domestic and international creative networks, foster international cooperation and knowledge exchange, and organise awards, festivals, and cultural-creative events to promote Vietnamese creative products globally.
Creative Activities Coordination Centre, which aims to consolidate resources, support creative space development, increase the value of creative products, and expand their market access, thereby fueling the city’s creative economy.
Huong expressed her hope that the creative community will continue aligning with Ha Noi’s cultural development vision by actively proposing ideas, adopting new technologies, and bringing creativity closer to the public, especially the youth.
