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, urbanists, 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 and emerging issues.

The 9th Urban Law Day will take place on 8 July 2022 and will be an online event. It will be co-hosted by the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies (University of London) and UN-Habitat and will focus on climate change as a key parameter for urban planning. The objective of the session is to identify the interrelationships between urban planning and climate change and explore the entry points for city involvement in climate change action through climate-smart urban planning.
