Description
Summary:The aim of the article is to consider the sequence of formation of the concept “learning cities” and practical steps for its implementation in the world, as well as to study the European experience in the construction of learning cities. An analysis of scientific works of leading European researchers in the field of regional policy-making and practice of introducing lifelong learning has made it possible to determine the role of the educational sphere, training, and human resources as the main sources for the development of learning cities. Based on studying the experience of developed European countries in the construction of learning cities, the author identified the main factors for the effective creation of learning cities and the sequence of their transformation into learning ones. The author’s definition of the concept “learning cities” is proposed. Prospects for further research are to study the impact of learning cities on the development of human capital and the formation of the creative sector of the economy in regions.
