Law and the City offers a lateral, critical and often unexpected description of some of the most important cities in the world, including Moscow, Istanbul, Berlin, Singapore, Athens, Mexico City, Toronto, Sydney, Johannesburg: each one from a distinctive legal perspective.
An invaluable 'guide' to adopting a different approach to the city and its history, culture and everyday experience, Law and the City is not simply an exploration of the relationship between these two spheres.
It details:
a flourishing of lawa (TM)s spatiality and urban legal locality

Offering a novel, transdisciplinary approach to environmental law, its principles, mechanics and context, as tested in its application to the urban environment, this book traces the conceptual and material absence of communication between the human and the natural and controversially includes such an absence within a system of law and a system of geography which effectively remain closed to environmental considerations.
The book looks at Niklas Luhmann's theory of autopoiesis. Introducing the key concepts and operations, contextualizing them and opening them up to critical analysis....

There can be no justice that is not spatial. Against a recent tendency to despatialise law, matter, bodies and even space itself, this book insists on spatialising them, arguing that there can be neither law nor justice that are not articulated through and in space.
Spatial Justice presents a new theory and a radical application of the material connection between space - in the geographical as well as sociological and philosophical sense - and the law - in the broadest sense that includes written and oral law, but also embodied social and political norms.

The renewed interest in knowledge, especially prevalent in the economic discourse of the last few decades, has traditionally been coupled with an urge towards innovation. Innovation is now considered the main driver ofdevelopment, and knowledge the necessary premise for innovation. The precise connection between knowledge and innovation, however, has been left largely unexplored mainly because of the difficulties involved in the polysemic nature of knowledge. The connection enters a new, larger sphere of ambiguity when socio-spatial parameters are introduced. Following the recent...

This handbook sets out an innovative approach to the theory of law reconceptualising legal theory in a material, socially contextualised and politically radical way.

The book is split into six parts:
The Spatial
The Temporal
The Material
The Political
The Sensorial
The Textual
Through this structure the handbook brings the law into...
