Building learning cities is an inevitable trend in historical development and social progress. It is also the necessary way to advance urban civilization. Internationally, theories and practices of learning city construction em-phasize more on inclusive learning and lifelong learning culture, and highlight the sustainable development of learning cities. In China, learning city construction has gone through a three-stage developmental process. It features lifelong education system, government policy led initiative, and the multilateral cooperation for the effective integration of re-sources. However, it also faces many issues and challenges, including the utilitarian constraints, inadequate opera-tional mechanisms, partial integration of modern learning technologies, and incomplete legal system. Therefore, in the future, the construction of learning city in China should focus on its benefits to the society and move forward step by step. China should utilize social institutional advantages and people oriented policies to strengthen the integration of social forces. A coordinated mechanism and a systematic evaluation system are also desirable to achieve sustainable de-velopment of learning cities in China.%建设学习型城市，是历史发展与社会进步的必然，更是城市文明发展的必由之路。国际上学习型城市建设的实践与理念，强调包容性学习与终身学习文化营造，凸显了推进的可持续性。在我国，学习型城市建设经过摸索起步、全面推进、反思提升三个阶段的快速发展，形成了以终身教育体系构建为起点、以政府政策主导为优势特点、以多方合作的资源有效整合为落脚点的重要特征，同时也面临着功利化束缚、运行机制不完善、现代学习技术融入不彻底、法律制度保障不力等诸多问题。因此，未来中国学习型城市建设，应当关注其广泛效益，有目的、有步骤、有规划地逐步推进；发挥制度优势，以人为本，加强社会力量整合；构建多方协调的工作机制，以实现学习型城市建设的可持续性；确立绿色指标，建立具有系统性、可操作性的科学评估体系。
