Abstract
The concept of the learning city/region has been around for several years, and interest in its concepts is continuing to grow. At the same time, cities are developing as the wellspring of national growth and have established global liaisons in many areas of activity. Resilient cities , cities of opportunity, sustainable cities , sanctuary cities and many more exchange ideas, information and expertise. The common factor of all of them is learning, and in that sense, they are all also learning cities . This chapter identifies the key features of an entrepreneurial learning city and suggests sources of learning materials that will help city leaders, professionals and citizens to understand the rationale, the principles and the requirements of learning cities and regions.
