Law Between Buildings: Emergent Global Perspectives in Urban Law: Juris Diversitas

Editat de Nestor Davidson, Nisha Mistry
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 noi 2016
The rich field of urban law has thus far lacked a holistic and concerted scholarly focus on comparative and global perspectives. This work offers new inroads into the global and comparative streams within urban law by presenting emerging frameworks and approaches to topics ranging from urban housing and land use to legal informality and consumer financial protection. The volume brings together a group of international urban legal scholars to highlight emergent global, interdisciplinary perspectives within the field of urban law, particularly as they have import for comparative legal analysis. The book presents a timely addition to the literature given the urgent legal issues that continue to surface in an age of rapid urbanization and globalization.

Recenzii

In 2009, for the first time in history, a majority of human beings lived in cities. Global urbanization will only increase during the upcoming decades, and it is more important than ever to understand how cities work. Law Between Buildings provides an important contribution to our knowledge of the formal and informal legal frameworks that shape the lives of the majority of the world's population. The chapters in this volume pull away the curtain and reveal how urban systems both promote and impede efforts to bring equity and justice to cities around the world. This is a significant work that should be read by academics and others concerned about how we will improve life in our urban areas. Wendell E. Pritchett, Presidential Professor of Law and Education, University of Pennsylvania Law School.
This timely book broadens the focus on urban law and politics to a broad international perspective. The excellent chapters by leading scholars investigates the ways in which the built environment is shaped by local politics, legal doctrine, and social dynamics. It is, quite simply, an exemplary work of modern comparative socio-legal studies. Daniel B. Rodriguez, Dean and Harold Washington Professor, Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law
