The sixth edition of the GOLD report \u201cPathways to Urban and Territorial Equality: Addressing inequalities through local transformation strategies\u201d is\u00a0 jointly produced by UCLG and KNOW, and commissioned by the IAEC.<\/p>
The increase in social inequality and the new forms of exclusion and expulsion in cities are increasingly forcing public care policies to be based on the ethics of care<\/strong>. The forms of social isolation and poverty and the attention to the multiple needs of the reproduction of life call for a policy based on a paradigm that prioritises welfare and sustainability.<\/p> Local governments play a key role in this field, due to their strategic position of proximity and knowledge of community needs. In this challenge, citizenship education is a cornerstone of the development of a strategy that fosters care and prevents social isolation while educating future generations in new values and priorities in order to guarantee social equity.<\/p> This report identifies five challenges for local political action<\/strong> which use education to respond to the needs derived from the inequality and social fragmentation that characterise 21st-century cities.<\/p> It concludes with a set of recommendations arising from the reflections made for each of the five challenges.<\/p> We hope you will like it!<\/p>
