Focus and scope

RBEUR aims to serve as an institutional platform for disseminating scientific research in the field of urban and regional studies. It reflects the theoretical, thematic, and disciplinary heterogeneity that characterizes the ANPUR network, while promoting diversity of thought and upholding the principles of originality, rigor, and excellence in its published works.

Historically, RBEUR has published articles authored by scholars and practitioners from a wide range of fields, including public administration; anthropology; archaeology; architecture; political science; environmental sciences; demography; design; law; economics; geography; history; urban and regional planning; international relations; sociology; tourism; and urbanism.

Accordingly, the journal’s thematic scope encompasses a plurality of approaches that investigate the production, organization, and transformation of urban and regional spaces across their social, economic, political, cultural, environmental, and technological dimensions. RBEUR welcomes both theoretical and methodological contributions, as well as empirical and applied research. The journal seeks to engage with different scales and temporalities and to foster critical debates that advance knowledge and inform public policies directed toward cities and regions.
