"Urban Policy in the Framework of the 2030 Agenda: Balance and Perspectives from Latin America and Europe" is a book edited by M.A.H. García, A. Rodríguez Miranda, V. Ugalde, and R.M. Rodríguez. It focuses on urban policies in relation to the 2030 Agenda and provides 10 case studies of secondary/intermediate cities in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Mexico, Chile, Spain, Italy, England, France, and Portugal. The book aims to explore how policy is transferred and how urban Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are translated into policies, programs, and administrative structures. While the book offers valuable insights, some topics, such as the impact of interventions and finance, could have been covered in more depth. Overall, it is a valuable resource for academics and practitioners interested in sustainable urbanization and provides a unique perspective on the local implementation of SDGs.
