Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal explores the intersection of urbanism, architecture, and territory, with a focus on spatial design, environmental factors, and social dynamics. Recent articles examine issues such as hazard risk assessment in built environments, the influence of urban space characteristics on behavior, the concept of the 'Third Landscape' in residual areas, and the design and symbolism of public squares. The scope also includes the analysis of megastructures, spatial conflicts related to renewable energy, accessibility in urban public spaces, mosque construction in urban landscapes, outdoor thermal comfort influenced by building regulations, children's play in urban environments, green performance of affordable housing, and the use of digital environments for spatial research and security.
