Currently, going to public learning spaces to learn has become a new trend in cities. Some media reporters have found that public learning spaces such as 24-hour self-service libraries are currently in high demand in some cities. How to further construct and upgrade public learning spaces, making them "closer, lower threshold, and better service", is worth the attention of urban managers. The progress of a city cannot only be judged by the height of high-rise buildings, but also by the temperature of public learning spaces. Creating urban public learning spaces in line with the concept of building a lifelong learning society. Teenagers can read and learn, young people can recharge for career development, and elderly people can enrich their later years. People of different age groups gather and communicate here with a common learning goal, enhancing mutual understanding and tolerance. At the same time, from the perspective of building a civilized city, high-quality urban public learning spaces demonstrate the humanistic care and spiritual style of the city, which is conducive to attracting talent and injecting momentum into urban development. In recent years, the country has increasingly attached importance to the construction of public learning spaces. The 14th Five Year Plan for Cultural and Tourism Development proposes to comprehensively strengthen the hardware and software construction of public cultural facilities, and improve the coverage and effectiveness of public cultural services. At the spatial and business level, it is proposed to innovate and create a number of "small and beautiful" urban public cultural spaces such as study rooms, cultural stations, cultural auditoriums, and cultural squares. The "Key Tasks for Building a Learning Society" issued by the Ministry of Education in 2023 proposes to achieve full coverage of community learning centers in counties (cities, districts) by 2025. These policies and regulations provide institutional guarantees and directional guidance for the construction of urban public learning spaces. At present, there are still shortcomings in the construction of public learning spaces in some cities. For example, uneven spatial distribution, overcrowding in old urban areas and bustling areas, severe shortage of newly built residential areas and remote areas; Single functional settings and lack of diversified functional zoning; The problems of unreasonable opening hours, untimely book updates, and inadequate facility maintenance still exist. To address these issues, targeted measures are needed. In terms of spatial layout, the principles of balance and convenience should be upheld. Urban managers need to investigate the needs of residents in different areas, make full use of idle community buildings, vacant floors in commercial complexes, etc., layout and construct small urban public learning spaces, and create a "15 minute learning circle". For example, the practice of some cities transforming abandoned boiler rooms in old communities into community study rooms has been well received by residents and is worth learning from. In terms of operational management, we need to innovate mechanisms to improve service quality. In addition to introducing a professional operation team responsible for daily management and other work, volunteers can also be recruited to participate in services and social forces can be introduced. In the face of the new technological revolution, the digital transformation of urban learning spaces is not a multiple-choice question, but a mandatory one. We should make good use of digital technology to optimize the appointment system, create a smart learning space, provide online learning resources and other services, and enhance the convenience of public use of the space. Urban public learning spaces can also become hubs for cultural exchange. In addition to traditional functions, regularly holding lectures, training and other activities, inviting experts and scholars to share knowledge and experience, can enhance the activity of urban public learning spaces and better meet the diverse learning needs of the public. The phrase 'hard to find' reflects the public's thirst for learning in the city. Actively creating urban public learning spaces and cultivating a scholarly atmosphere are essential questions for urban development. Urban managers should be guided by policies, driven by innovation, and dedicated to creating public learning spaces that are popular among the people, allowing the light of knowledge to illuminate the city.
