Cities are home to over fifty percent of the world's population, a figure which is expected to increase enormously by 2050. Despite the growing demand on urban resources and infrastructure, food is still often overlooked as a key factor in planning and designing cities. Without incorporating food into the design process – how it is grown, transported, and bought, cooked, eaten and disposed of – it is impossible to create truly resilient and convivial urbanism.

This book is written due to the request of numerous parties, institutions and organizations that wishes to know about Indonesian legal system and legal framework. I have published numerous books in the form of ‘Legal Anthology’, but most of them are in Indonesian, with numerous English legal writings scattered in those numerous anthology legal writings. In this particular book (volume 9), all of the English legal writings (in volume 1 to 8) that I have written are specially compiled in a systematic manner. I hope that the publication of this book will help foreign lawyers and institution to have insight and gain knowledge of Indonesian legal system and also exposure to my firm’s legal work. I would like to thanks Ms. Haghia Sophia Lubis S.H., LL.M. for helping me in editing this particular book. This book is written with the help of numerous parties whom which I might not have mentioned, and for that I would like to apologize. It is my sincere aim that this book will help the development of Indonesian legal system and foster relationship and understanding between countries that intends to cooperate in legal matters with Indonesia.
Religious and ethno-religious issues are inherent in many multiethnic and multi-religious societies. Singapore society is no exception. It has long been multiethnic, multicultural and multi-religious, being at the crossroads of many major and minor civilizations, cultures and traditions, and its religious diversity continues to develop in the current contexts of growing religiosity, religious change and conflict often in the name of religion. Despite this background, there is lack of in-depth knowledge, nuanced understanding and regular dialogue about religions and the meanings of living in a multi-religious world. This volume covering major themes of Singapore's religious landscape, religion in schools and among the young, religion in the media, religious involvement in social services, and interfaith issues and interaction fills important gaps in the knowledge and understanding of Singapore's religious diversity and complexity. A collective effort of researchers and practitioners, it is a timely and useful reference for scholars, decision-makers, leaders and practitioners as well as for concerned citizens and followers.
