This book proposes an alternative strategy to improve and sustain
prosperity, through the creation of an entrepreneurial culture in
learning cities or city regions. The edited collection provides
insights into how entrepreneurship, education, job creation and
social inclusion can be aligned through entrepreneurial learning,
in the context of territorial development. With rich and varied
contributions from a wide field, including policy makers,
entrepreneurs, an investment banker, leaders of universities and
councils, the voluntary sector, scientists, educators and students,
it reviews and assesses how learning cities and regions may become
more prosperous by investing in the development of entrepreneurial
skills throughout lifelong learning. Reinforced by examples on
developing and retaining entrepreneurial people, this book
contributes to our understanding of how entrepreneurial learning
can be fostered in different city and city-region contexts. It
makes an interesting contribution to the field in terms of mapping
out complex issues and testing the practical validity of the
concept, while also providing rich and insightful case studies
centred on the Welsh experience with entrepreneurial learning city
regions. The high quality international contributions demonstrate
the new worldwide interest in developing an entrepreneurial culture
for the benefit of a city or region, rather than an entrepreneurial
mind-set for individual benefit. This fascinating subject will be
of interest to many social scientists, policymakers, and
practitioners. It will be found especially valuable for
professionals involved in economic, inclusive and sustainable city
or regional development.
