Buchrückentext:
The UNESCO Global Network of Learning Cities (UNESCO GNLC) supports cities to unlock their transformative potential and to promote sustainable development at local level by taking a holistic, inclusive and sectorwide approach to learning. To honour member cities that have made impressive progress in the planning, implementation and monitoring of lifelong learning, in 2015 UNESCO GNLC introduced the biennal Learning City Award.

The case studies compiled here present the accomplishment of the 16 cities to receive the award in 2017: Villa Maria (Argentina), Contagem (Brazil), Mayo-Baléo (Cameroon), Hangzhou (China), Giza (Egypt), Gelsenkirchen (Germany), Larissa (Greece), N'Zérékoré (Guinea), Pécs (Hungary), Surabaya (Indonesia), Limerick (Ireland), Okayama City (Japan), Câmara de Lobos (Portugal), Suwon (Republic of Korea), Tunis (Tunisia) and Bristol (United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland).

With this compilation, the UNESCO GNLC coordination team aims to encourage the creation of urban learning communities by enhancing capacity development, communication and cooperation between cities around the world and by giving all stakeholders across sectors a better understanding of the learning city approach.
