Nature Cities
@NatCities
A new online journal from @NaturePortfolio launched in 2024 publishing leading research, commentary and analysis in urban research.
- As a journal that wants to publish global content, we are aware that researchers have to face many different structural barriers. Here @MajoAlRiv talks about some of them when doing urban research from and about the Global South: nature.com/articles/s4428…
- Our first editorial talks about what we do and what we want to accomplish as a journal. We welcome all disciplines and methodologies (yes, including qual research!) that deal with urban problems. nature.com/articles/s4428…
- As a new journal, people sometimes ask us what our scope and range are. As an interdisciplinary journal, we welcome submissions from any field. Here's an initial list of things we are interested in, but we are also open to topics outside these! nature.com/collections/jb…
- Our first issue will be live in about one hour. It's a great mix of different disciplines, voices and geographies. We will discuss each individually, but please take a look to the whole new site later today. Looking forward to your thoughts! go.nature.com/48CZAXi
- Although we are called Nature Cities, our content includes both environmental and human issues of cities. Politics is a key topic, and here Eduardo Marques from @CEM_CMS recounts the way urban scholars have understood politics and govts: nature.com/articles/s4428…
- Our March issue is live! Segregation, in its many forms and consequences, is the common thread among articles this time. You can see the full issue here: nature.com/natcities/volu….
- Our new issue is out now! This time we discuss the importance of the nature in and of cities with texts from a wide range of disciplines. See our editorial here: nature.com/articles/s4428…
- The importance of inequality in the way diseases are transmitted in urban areas was discussed during COVID. @UrbanIntelLab's article shows how much, and compared to the role of density, in US cities: nature.com/articles/s4428…
- We are taking next week off, but it's never too late in the year to read our first published paper. It's about heat exposure and adaptation, written by researchers from @ASUrbanClimate. Our first full issue will come out Jan 11. See you in 2024!
- Looking to publish? Nature Cities welcomes submissions seeking to deepen and integrate basic and applied understanding of the nature of cities, including their roles, impacts and influences—past, present and future. Find out more: go.nature.com/459ta4y
- Interested in working with us? We have an opening for an Assistant Editor! Deadline is Nov 5, 2023. See full details here: careers.springernature.com/job/Shanghai-A…
- Contagious diseases in cities involve a question about population density but also about how socioeconomic differences matter. @Creighton88 discusses the relationship between density and inequality here: nature.com/articles/s4428…
