We are used to thinking of human rights as a matter for state
governments to deal with. Much less investigated is the question of
what cities do with them, even though urban communities and
municipalities have been discussing human rights for quite some
time. In this volume, Grigolo borrows the concept of 'the human
rights city' to invite us to think about a new urban utopia: a
place where human rights strive to guide urban life. By turning the
question of the meaning and use of human rights in cities into the
object of critical investigation, this book tracks the genesis,
institutionalisation and implementation of human rights in cities,
focussing on New York, San Francisco and Barcelona. Touching also
upon matters such as women's rights, LGBT rights and migrant
rights, The Human Rights City emphasises how human rights can serve
urban justice but also a neoliberal practice of the city. This book
is a useful resource for scholars and students interested in fields
such as Sociology of Human Rights, Sociology of Law, International
Law, Urban Sociology, Political Sociology and Social Policies.
