Juergensmeyer and Johnston: Introduction


                                INTRODUCTION

We are pleased to publish the third 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. The Journal has achieved
remarkable success since launching in May 2017 and is now read in 138 countries and
counting!

This edition contains comparative research articles written by participants of the
eleventh Study Space Program held in Singapore June 17-22, 2018. The theme of the
program was City Redevelopment, Infrastructure and Heritage in the Era of Climate
Change.

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 participants to
engage in comparative research and networking around the globe.

A wide range of articles are covered in this edition - rainwater harvesting, cultural
heritage protection, climate change, urban planning, urban development, and smart
cities.

We thank our partners and friends, Kevin Tan, President, ICOMOS Singapore, and Jack
Lee, President of the Singapore Heritage Society and member of ICOMOS Singapore,
for their immense help in planning the Study Space Singapore Program. We also thank
our sponsoring partners ICOMOS Singapore and Konrad Adenauer Stiftung Regional
Project Energy Security and Climate, whose generous support enabled broad
participation by leading law and policy experts across Asia and from Germany. We
specifically thank Eric Lee, Project Manager, Regional Project Energy Security and
Climate, for his help identifying and coordinating the wide variety of speakers from
Hong Kong, China, India, Philippines and Germany.

We hope you enjoy this issue of comparative urban law and policy articles.

Sincerely,

Julian Conrad Juergensmeyer
