handle is hein.journals/jculp2 and id is 1 raw text is: Juergensmeyer and Johnston: Introduction INTRODUCTION We are proud to release the second volume of the Journal of Comparative Urban Law and Policy, a publication of the Center for the Comparative Study of Metropolitan Growth at Georgia State University College of Law. This Journal was first launched in May 2017 with research articles resulting from our Study Space Program held in Cape Town, South Africa in June 2016. It was a deliberate choice to launch our journal online as an open access journal; we knew there was demand for accessible comparative urban research. In just one year, the Journal has achieved remarkable success - the articles in the first edition have been read in 120 countries! This second volume contains comparative research articles written by the participants of the tenth Study Space Program held in Marseille, France June 19- 23, 2017. The theme of the program was Transforming Marseille: Balancing Urban Redevelopment, Economic Growth, Social Equity and Environmental Protection in the Building of a Metropolitan Area. It also contains an article written by Georgia State Law student Ian Michael Rogers, Historic Preservation and Progress in Atlanta: Opportunity Knocks; Rogers' paper was the top student paper in the Urban Fellows course in 2017. Study Space is an annual weeklong workshop that brings together scholars and practitioners from around the world to study critical issues facing metropolitan regions. It is held in a different city every year, providing an opportunity for its participants to engage in comparative research and networking around the globe. As evidenced by the range of topics addressed in these articles - governance, regional public/private partnerships, housing, water, and conservation - Study Space tackles a wide range of themes over the week, but all are interconnected complex challenges facing metropolitan regions. In Marseille, participants enjoyed lectures and site visits connected to each of the daily themes: (1) Aix-Marseille as a Metropolitan Area; (2) Eurom6diterran6e, Europe's Largest Urban Renewal and Economic Development Project; (3) Affordable Housing and Social Mix, featuring a lecture by Dr. Jean- Bernard Auby, Professor Emeritus at SciencesPo and a site visit to Ancrages Quartiers Nord; (4) Culture and Heritage as an Economic Driver, featuring a visit to Villa Mediterran6e and lectures about the role of arts in redeveloping the city, and; (5) Environmental Law and Greenspace Preservation, featuring a lecture by Published by Reading Room, 201
