Hue City is selected by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism as one of seven cities implementing the "Creative Cities Network Development Project", within the UNESCO Creative Cities Network (UCCN). According to experts, this is both opportunity and challenge.

The above goal was proposed and discussed by experts at the conference "UNESCO Creative Cities Network and the ability to transform cultural resources in Hue" organized by the Vietnam National Institute of Culture and Arts coordinated with the Institute for Development Studies of Thua Thien Hue province on the morning of September 22 in Hue city.

On April 20, Hoang Tuan Long, an architect from Ho Chi Minh City, confirmed that he would continue to implement the volunteer community project of the work "Map of Vietnam" made from giang toothpicks at the BOARC exhibition – the Exhibition of handmade creative designs, which is due to take place from April 28 to May 5 (within the framework of Hue Traditional Craft Festival 2023).

This contest is organized by Hue Monuments Conservation Center in collaboration with the People's Committee of Hue City, with the aim to explore creative ideas of public architecture (for pedestrians) from Nguyen Hoang bus station to Hue Imperial City area.

The contest “Hue Initiatives - Green Space, Green City” is a place for young people and citizens to propose breakthrough and creative ideas that can transform potential areas in Hue city into multi-functional green spaces, adapting to climate change, improving public health and promoting sustainable development.
