The city is a cultural complex that brings together the knowledge and experiences represented in its streets and squares, but also its dynamics, traditions and narratives. Taking an educational look at the city involves rethinking the imaginaries around which we construct ourselves as subjects, and with which we articulate our lives in society. In this line, aspects like experience, everydayness or participation frame the analysis of the educational processes that occur in the city.

An analysis of the relationship between education and city leads to a generic formulation that embraces many other specific aspects such as neighbourhood and school, streets and citizens, celebrations and participation, discourse and transformation, among others, all of which derive from the concrete realities and problems that are experienced and acted upon. These responses also revolve around a pedagogical discourse in which we can identify their dynamics, projects and ways of relating. Contributions to the monographic should explore this educational view on the processes of collective subjectivation and construction that develop in our cities.
