Unlocking the Potential of Urban Communities: Case Studies of Twelve Learning Cities.

With more and more people living in cities, the need for sustainable economic, social and cultural urban development has become more urgent. The UNESCO Global Network of Learning Cities (GNLC) is an international platform for cities that are responding to this need by pursuing lifelong learning strategies. The GNLC has compiled this collection of case studies, which brings together examples of cities from all regions in the world that use the learning city approach to enhance individual empowerment, social cohesion, economic development, cultural prosperity and sustainability.
