Aims & Scope

City and Environment Interactions is an international and interdisciplinary rapid open access forum focusing on the interactions between cities and related environmental and climatic pressures.

The outcome-related research we publish should tackle the challenges that densely-populated cities (and their wider regions) face in a changing world, as increasing populations live in conurbations.

We welcome full research papers, review articles, and are also keen to consider short communications that present original material for rapid dissemination.

For more details, please see below for our different Article Types.

City and Environment Interactions also welcomes research on the urban environment from both the natural and social sciences, especially if it demonstrates the interface with urban policy making and other important stakeholders.

It is important to note that the journal aims be useful reading not just for academics, but stakeholders within industry, urban government, and policymakers etc.
