The Globalisation of Urban Governance: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Globalisation of Urban Governance" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
The adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by the UN General Assembly in 2015 represents the latest attempt by the international community to live up to the challenges of a planet that is out of control. Sustainable Development Goal 11 envisages inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable cities around the world by the year 2030. This globally agreed vision is part of a trend in international policy toward good urban governance, and now awaits implementation. Fourteen original contributions collectively examine how this global vision has been developed on a conceptual level, how it plays out in various areas of (global) urban governance and how it is implemented in varying local contexts. The overarching hypothesis presented herein is that SDG 11 proves that local governance is recognised as an autonomous yet interrelated part of the global pursuit of sustainable development. The volume analyses three core questions: How have the normative ideals set forth in SDG 11 been developed? What are the meanings of the four sub-goals of SDG 11 and how do these relate to each other? What does SDG 11 imply for urban law and governance in the domestic context and how are local processes of urban governance internationalised?The Globalisation of Urban Governance makes an important scholarly contribution by linking the narrative on globalisation of good urban governance in various social sciences with legal discourse. It considers global governance and connects the existing debate about cities and their place in global governance with some of the most pertinent questions that lawyers face today.

Through a diversity of case studies and theoretical perspectives, the editors offer a valuable guide to navigating the challenges and opportunities for the governance of safe and sustainable urban spaces. A virtuoso effort led by two of the worlds leading scholars in this field of environmental governance.
Prof. Benjamin J. Richardson, University of Tasmania
How to govern our globes cities well? That is, how to live up to the sustainable development ideals of SDG 11? This is one of the most pertinent questions of our time. The Globalisation of Urban Governance is an excellent volume that advances the emerging field of research on urban governance at the intersections of global governance, (international) law, political science and urban studies. Aust and du Plessis have put together a wonderful collection of clear and engaging chapters, which deal with various aspects of the globalisation of good governance of cities from a legal perspective. A highly innovative book relevant to both the scholarly and policy discourse on the meaning of SDG 11.
Janne E. Nijman, Academic Director of the T.M.C. Asser Instituut in The Hague and Professor of History and Theory of International Law, University of Amsterdam
Cities around the world have started to use whatever powers they have to achieve inclusiveness, safety, resilience and sustainability for their residents, not because they were empowered to do so by states, but simply because they experience the impact of poverty, discrimination, insecurity, pollution and climate change on a daily basis. This important new book, edited by world leading experts on the topic Aust and du Plessis, shows how cities thus have become essential global actors for the achievement of sustainable development, and what are the implications for urban governance.
Jonathan Verschuuren, Professor of International and European Environmental Law, Tilburg University
