Within this context and aiming to promoting cooperation between cities that identify creativity as a strategic factor for sustainable development, in 2004 was the UNESCO Creative Cities Network (UCCN) created. The Network covers seven creative fields:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Crafts and Folk Art<\/li>\n<li>Design<\/li>\n<li>Film<\/li>\n<li>Gastronomy<\/li>\n<li>Literature<\/li>\n<li>Media Arts<\/li>\n<li>Music<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>295 towns from 90 countries are members of the UCC Network!<\/p>\n<p>Applications are accepted every two years. The progress and actions of each city member of the Network, are mentioned in the UCCN Membership Monitoring Reports, every 4 years.<\/p>\n<p>The objective is to support creativity and culture in a local level, promote the idea of the citizens participation and through a more progressive interaction between the public, in cooperation with the private sector, and civil society, contribute into a more sustainable urban development, which will apply and serve better, the needs of the local populations.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, through pilot projects, research, cooperation on a global level, exchange of experience, know-how and resources, UNESCO believes that creative local industries will evolve, aimed at sustainable urban development.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"tdi_39\" class=\"tdc-row\"><div id=\"networking\" class=\"vc_row tdi_40  wpb_row td-pb-row\" >\n<style scoped>\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n.tdi_40,\r\n                .tdi_40 .tdc-columns{\r\n                    min-height: 0;\r\n                }.tdi_40,\r\n\t\t\t\t.tdi_40 .tdc-columns{\r\n\t\t\t\t    display: block;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_40 .tdc-columns{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: 100%;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_40:before,\r\n\t\t\t\t.tdi_40:after{\r\n\t\t\t\t    display: table;\r\n\t\t\t\t}\n<\/style><div class=\"vc_column tdi_42  wpb_column vc_column_container tdc-column td-pb-span12\">\n<style scoped>\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n.tdi_42{\r\n                    vertical-align: baseline;\r\n                }.tdi_42 > .wpb_wrapper,\r\n\t\t\t\t.tdi_42 > .wpb_wrapper > .tdc-elements{\r\n\t\t\t\t    display: block;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_42 > .wpb_wrapper > .tdc-elements{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: 100%;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_42 > .wpb_wrapper > .vc_row_inner{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_42 > .wpb_wrapper{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\t    height: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\t}\n<\/style><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\" ><div class=\"wpb_wrapper td_block_empty_space td_block_wrap vc_empty_space tdi_44 \"  style=\"height: 50px\"><\/div><div class=\"td_block_wrap td_block_text_with_title tdi_45 tagdiv-type td-pb-border-top td_block_template_10\"  data-td-block-uid=\"tdi_45\" ><div class=\"td-block-title-wrap\"><h2 class=\"td-block-title\"><span class=\"td-pulldown-size\">NETWORKING<\/span><\/h2><\/div><div class=\"td_mod_wrap td-fix-index\"><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Milan Urban Food Policy Pact \u2013 MUFPP)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <strong>Milan Urban Food Policy Pact &#8211; MUFPP<\/strong> is an international agreement of Mayors. It is more than a declaration, it is a concrete working tool for cities. It is composed by a preamble and a Framework for Action listing 37 recommended actions, clustered in 6 categories.<br \/>\nFor each recommended action there are specific indicators to monitor progresses in implementing the Pact. The Milan Pact Awards offer concrete examples of the food policies that cities are implementing in each of the 6 Pact categories.<br \/>\nThe MUFPP was initially presented by the Municipality of Milan in 2015, as an international Pact between cities from all over the world aiming at &#8220;developing sustainable food policies, which will be inclusive, resilient, safe and diversified, that will, provide healthy and affordable food for all the people within the human rights convention, combat food waste and maintain biodiversity, while at the same time will adapt and prevent the effects of climate change&#8221;.<br \/>\nThe main objective is, to support cities who want to develop more sustainable urban food policies, by strengthening the cooperation between cities and exchange of best practices.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong>Food Council<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nIn 2019 Thessaloniki was one of the first cities in Greece, that established a Food Council.
