Abstract: Abstract Under the challenges of globalization, sustainability, digitalization, and other fast changes required by unexpected situations, the need for more sustainable and resilient cities increases. Creative and cultural opportunities in many sectors can be translated into local development by exploiting the potential and openness of many cities and regions around the world and particularly in European Union. This paper focuses on the Cultural and Creative Index as a useful tool to compare cities’ performance and to identify recommendations for increasing the capability of cultural and creative favorable context to support local development. It is important to link academic knowledge to sustainable local development by summarizing the key findings of our research. Exploiting the holistic view of the Cultural and Creative Cities Index, we identified three dimensions that need to be considered and explored to make possible the objectives of the EU: building cohesive societies through culture and education and creating a more inclusive Union, supporting innovation, creativity, and sustainable jobs and growth. The three dimensions refer to employment, tourism, and environmental protection. Based on these dimensions, we aim to provide a scheme for turning cultural-creative challenges into opportunities for local development.
