Enhancing Sustainable Urban Development through Legal Frameworks: Highlights from the 11th Urban Law Day
July 4 @ 08:00 - 17:00
On July 4, 2024, UN-Habitat (PLGS), in collaboration with the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies in the UK, hosted the 11th Urban Law Day. This event, titled “Effective Urban Laws to Localize the SDGs,” brought together 89 multidisciplinary participants to discuss urban law’s role in sustainable development.
Key achievements included the presentation of the Draft SDG Cities Legal Checklist, developed with the Commonwealth Associations of Architects, Lawyers, and Planners, and the exchange of best practices from Kenya, Uganda, and Cameroon on advancing urban laws in resource-limited settings. The session served as a vital platform for dialogue on overcoming legal framework challenges to promote sustainable urban growth.
