Abstract
The increasing smartness of cities and territories is driving the change of all aspects of learning: places, processes, approaches and methods, contents, roles and skills. The grand challenge (GC) is to develop an adequate governance of such transformation and through learning disseminate a “person in place centered” perspective to inspire the design and development of smart cities that are inclusive and supportive of the whole complexity of the human being and where formal and informal learning agencies integrate and cooperate to foster social innovation.
