About Depok Creativ City
Opportunities and Challenges
Opportunities: Becoming a member of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network (UCCN) 2023 opens up opportunities for international cooperation with creative cities worldwide in the fields of arts, media, design, and technology such as application, games, and robotics. It also allows an opportunity to work and collaborate to fulfill the global market’s needs and increase the income and prosperity of the local community.
Challenges: A strong cultural dominance (globalization) can threaten local cultural diversity. The threat has driven Depok City to develop a smart culture approach that combines local and global elements such as culture, creativity, innovation, and technology.
Intervention done by Depok City: maximizing the potential of media arts for sustainable urban development and mitigating and resolving challenges through adaptation and acculturation of global culture, which contains positive values with local culture as the national identity such as inclusive development (no one left behind, including young generation, women, vulnerable groups, and people with disabilities), mitigating or reducing the impact of disasters which aligns with sustainable development goals.
