Abstract
There are two significant trends across the world that are likely to have significant impacts on the field of adult education and lifelong learning in the future. The first of these is a drive to use Big Data and other quantitative methods to address inequalities in education and to develop interventions for the promotion of widening access and lifelong learning. The second is the focus on cities as sites of learning in the context of rapid urbanisation around the world. In the paper we consider both of these issues, and draw a link between them through illustrating the work of the newly-established Urban Big Data Centre at the University of Glasgow.
