Event Outline

The metropolis is virtually non-existent in comparative constitutional law, constitutional design, or constitutional thought. This lecture, based on Professor Hirschl’s forthcoming book City, State: Comparative Constitutionalism and the Megacity (Oxford University Press, 2020), will address these scholarly lacunae as it explores the challenges posed to the theory and practice of constitutional democracy in what has been hailed as the “century of the city.”
