The Urban Law Day is a specialised forum aiming to bring together a multidisciplinary circle of academics and practitioners interested in urban legislation, including planners, architects, policy makers, economists, urbanises, and lawyers.
The purpose of the Urban Law Day is to facilitate discussion, the exchange of views, networking, and the presentation of new research findings or emerging issues. The fourth Urban Law Day will take place on 14 July 2017 at the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies (University of London) and will address specific legal issues linked to the implementation of the New Urban Agenda.
The New Urban Agenda was adopted by the United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (Habitat III) on the 20th October 2016. The New Urban Agenda is a non-binding roadmap that sets policy objectives for environmental friendly which are engines of prosperity and centres of cultural and social well-being. Major commitments in the New Urban Agenda include the provision of basic services for all citizens in an equal and non-discriminatory way; respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms; measures for cleaner cities; strengthened resilience and reduced risk and impact of disasters; actions to address climate change and reduced greenhouse gas emissions; respect for the rights of refugees, migrants and internally displaced persons; improved connectivity and support for innovative and green initiatives; and safe, accessible and green public spaces.
