Urban Growth and Displacement
About this Collection
This collection is now closed to submissions.
The Urban Growth and Displacement collection has been designed to demonstrate a commitment to open-access publication of high quality and original research output about the urban transformation and its societal consequences.
Urban transformations provide rich opportunities for contributing to sustainability, resilience and development. Even though they are of vital importance for the future of humanity, urbanization has resulted in the disruption of the relationship between the social and the spatial. There is a rich research field around questions of urban transformations combining multiple disciplines and methods. However, there is still a gap in knowledge in the literature on the role of urban and regional economies in supporting urban refugees and forced displaced population. Improved and early policy responses and focused strategies are needed for the integration and inclusion of the displaced. Planned spatial interventions supporting urban and regional economies could serve as a key development objective in a displacement setting.
This is a collection that aims to curate research on the societal impacts of contemporary urban growth, including critiques of existing urban planning practices and the discussions of alternative frameworks. Contributions may also provide reviews of urban containment policies as well as global regulations. Submissions using qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods are welcomed.
Contributors should consider focusing on key issues including but not limited to:
