A groundbreaking volume on the essential role that law, and law reform, plays in realizing the promise of the New Urban Agenda. The contributors bring to the forefront the different challenges that cities and their leaders face as they endeavor to incorporate more robust citizen participation, protect human rights, sustainably develop to meet the demands of urban migration, and prepare for climate change and other threats to the health and safety of their communities. The range of contributors and the various regions they represent is a strength of the volume and renders it an indispensable starting place for appreciating the legal dimensions of the ambitious New Urban Agenda.
