Abstract	The cities, towns and regions in which we live are dynamic, exciting places that are set to evolve more rapidly than ever in the immediate future. As a result, local and regional authorities are re-inventing themselves as Learning Cities, Towns and Regions, where the development of human and social potential takes first priority. Across the six continents, local, regional and national governments now recognize that the opportunities they create can open the door to a brighter future for their citizens. This... book explores the mental and social landscape of the city of today and tomorrow; the way in which people think, interact, work together, learn and live with and among each other. [The book] addresses the urgent need for a guide to the principles and practices of lifelong learning for everyone in the cities, towns and regions of every country. The topics covered include: 1. the origins, development and main characteristics of the learning cities and regions concept and the reason why it is so important in today's world, 2. the many tools and techniques usable by cities, towns, regions and their stakeholders to energise participation and help create a culture of learning, 3. a proposed global role for cities and regions to help combat the blinkered ignorance, blinding poverty and militant terror that may ultimately engulf us all. The author's main thesis is that learning cities, towns and regions will not happen unless their decision-makers, their managers and professionals and a large number of their citizens become co-creators in their construction. This... book therefore identifies learning materials available from the internet that can be used to educate people from all walks of life and all backgrounds. In particular, it pinpoints those lessons, exercises and assignments specially written to support the ideas, experiences, case studies and recommendations contained in the book. (DIPF/Orig.).
