The "UK City of Culture" is an initiative established by the UK government to promote culture and creativity in cities across the country. Each year, a different city is awarded the title, allowing it to showcase its cultural heritage, arts, and community projects. This program aims to boost tourism, enhance local pride, and stimulate economic growth. Cities that have held the title, such as Derry-Londonderry in 2013 and Hull in 2017, have organized various events, festivals, and exhibitions to engage residents and visitors alike. The initiative encourages collaboration among local artists, organizations, and businesses to create a vibrant cultural scene.
