Abstract: Developing a learning city is one way to create lifelong learning. But there is still a lack of a practical framework that enables cities and communities to effectively promote lifelong learning. This article presents a framework for developing learning cities to promote lifelong learning. It reviews literature on the learning city concept, methods for building and developing a learning city, and on important factors in operating a learning city. It also presents a comparative analysis on the operations of 13 learning cities (9 abroad, 4 in Thailand). Finally, it summarizes the above information and presents the framework for operating learning cities to promote lifelong learning. The framework consists of three key components: lifelong learning goals, learning city operations, and related conditions. The framework extends the knowledge of learning city development and cities and communities can use it as a guideline to develop learning cities to promote lifelong learning.
