Creatividad, Cultura e Innovación en Las Ciudades Iberoamericanas (Creativity, Culture and Innovation in Ibero-American Cities) showcases how cities in Latin America are placing culture at the heart of urban development to safeguard heritage, protect cultural rights, and promote access to culture.

From AI-powered policy research to record-breaking live performances that promote indigenous culture, the report shows how Ibero-American cities are combining cultural heritage and modern innovation to create new futures for the region’s cities.
