Abstract:
Learning city concept is now one of the most significant outcomes of Unesco's thinking, in which education, rights, culture, and sustainability are intertwined in an integrated approach. Starting with the 2030 Agenda, the learning city becomes a laboratory for global citizenship, a place where lifelong learning is recognized as a common good and a tool for reducing inequalities, promoting inclusion, and building more equitable societies. From the Faure Report (1972) to the Delors Report (1996), to recent statements on cultural diversity, urban resilience, and the climate-gender nexus, Unesco has outlined a pedagogical, political, and cultural model that sees lifelong learning as the key to leaving no one behind. The learning city is at once a space for women's empowerment, diversity enhancement and social innovation. The experience of the Metropolitan City of Reggio Calabria, which joined the Global Network of Learning Cities in 2022, and the role of Roma Tre University with the ‘RC efficacy’ project, show how these principles can be translated into best practices, generating social, cultural, and civic impact.
