Our Mission

The journal focuses on the debate on issues concerning urbanization processes and the different forms that the urban question assumes in the contemporary reality. It is targeted at the academic community in general, especially the areas of Architecture and Urbanism, Urban and Regional Planning, Geography, Demography, and Social Sciences. The journal publishes texts authored by researchers and by scholars who study urban themes and discuss the effects of socio-spatial transformations on the conditioning of the cities' political-institutional system, and also the challenges to the adoption of management models based on urban governance.
