Routledge - The Globalisation of Urban Governance Book

Explore the complex relationship between international policy and local implementation in this academic text from Routledge. As the United Nations works toward the 2030 deadline for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Sustainable Development Goal 11 stands as a primary target for creating inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable cities globally. This book examines the shift toward good urban governance and the legal perspectives required to meet these international standards. Through fourteen original contributions, the text analyzes how the global vision for urban sustainability has been developed on a conceptual level. It provides a deep look into the trends of international policy and the challenges of moving from global agreement to practical, local action. This work is essential for those studying the intersection of law, urban planning, and global governance structures.
