The New Urban Agenda (NUA), adopted in 2016 at the United Nations
Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (Habitat
III) in Quito, Ecuador, represents a globally shared understanding
of the vital link between urbanization and a sustainable future. At
the heart of this new vision stand a myriad of legal challenges -
and opportunities - that must be confronted for the world to make
good on the NUA's promise. In response, this book, which
complements and expands on the editors' previous volumes on urban
law in this series, offers a constructive and critical evaluation
of the legal dimensions of the NUA. As the volume's authors make
clear, from natural disasters and resulting urban migration in
Honshu and Tacloban, to innovative collaborative governance in
Barcelona and Turin, to accessibility of public space for informal
workers in New Delhi and Accra, and power scales among Brazil's
metropolitan regions, there is a deep urgency for thoughtful
research to understand how law can be harnessed to advance the
NUA's global mission of sustainable urbanism. It thus creates a
provocative and academic dialogue about the legal effects of the
NUA, which will be of interest to academics and researchers with an
interest in urban studies.
The growing field of urban law demands a collaborative scholarly
focus on comparative and global perspectives. This volume offers
diverse insights into urban law, with emerging theories and
analyses of topics ranging from criminal reform and urban housing,
to social and economic inequality and financial crises, and
democratization and freedom for individual identity and space.
Particularly now, social, economic, and cultural issues must be
closely examined in conjunction with the rule of law not only to
address inadequate access to basic services, but also to construct
long-term plans for our cities and our world-a bright, safe future.

This book presents recent advancements in the field of natural
products research. Secondary metabolites such as phenolics,
alkaloids, saponins, lipids, carbohydrates and terpenes synthesised
by the plants are commercially important leading to the
opportunities in the field of drug development in various herbal
industries. The book includes 22 chapters with 11 research and 11
review articles, highlighting different dimensions of commercially
useful plant-based medicines, neutraceuticals, cosmaceuticals,
flavor compounds, their ethnobotany and utilisation pattern. Some
chapters cover nutritive, pharmacological and economical importance
of various plant species such as Momordica charantia, Chenopodium
album, Curcuma caesia, Rubus ellipticus, Ocimum sanctum, Diploknema
butyracea, Meizotropis pellita, Artemisia, Malus domestica,
Angelica glauca, Nardostachys jatamansi, Picrorhiza kurroa, Rheum
austral, Swertia chirata and Himalayan lichens. The phytochemical
screening and antioxidant potential of some wild edible plants and
the indirect organogenesis of Nyctanthes arbor-tristis L. for
pharmaceuticals and cosmacuticals were also exemplified. Potential
of endophytic fungi as a producer of biologically active natural
product has been presented as a review article. Other chapters
consider the usefulness of natural products for livelihood
generation and societal development of the local hill communities.
Book also includes phytoremedial aspect of Vinga radiate. nano
based medicines in cancer therapy and novel drug delivery
applications. This book is extremely useful resource for natural
