'Global Urban Justice provides a timely window into the theory and practice of human rights in the city. Although the volume helpfully collects many examples of success, its authors are careful not to generalize or romanticize the experience of local implementation. As a result, the collection offers a new lens through which to understand the issues that arise when efforts are made to take the broad set of rights articulated in the UDHR and UN treaties and turn them into real policies and programs that shape how people live. … Global Urban Justice should be understood as a clear-eyed call to action, highlighting the potential of human rights, not its inevitability.' Johanna Kalb, Columbia Human Rights Law Review
