N2 - However cities respond to the monumental challenges of climate change, trans-national migration, diversity, and scarce resources, one aspect of city life remains certain: children will continue to require an education. How this education is shaped, how its content is formulated and delivered, and how it constructs who a student is, remain open and troubling questions. The larger social and political context in which schools are embedded will also help shape the innovations that will be deployed in an effort to raise the quality of education and encourage innovative citizens of the future.
