Abstract
Cities are large learning spaces (McKenna, 2016). Over half of the world’s
population—3.9 billion people—currently lives in cities. The projection is that
2.5 billion more people will live in urban spaces by 2050, meaning the world will
be almost 70% urban. The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO) Cities Platform responds to this plausible reality with
eight networks and programs, drawing on its strong interdisciplinary approach to
leverage city spaces for the maximum benefit for denizens (UNESCO, n.d.-b).
