ENVIRONMENT AND URBANIZATION英文简介：

Environment and Urbanization (E&U) seeks to advance a more socially just and environmentally sustainable urban world through the provision of knowledge. Our focus is the global South, where an estimated one in three of the urban population live in informal settlements and where more than half work within the informal economy. UN projections suggest that almost all the world’s growth in population in the next few decades will be in urban centres in the Global South.Contributors to E&U include those engaging with critical social science to add theoretical and conceptual insights, those reporting innovative empirical findings that augment our understanding of context and solutions (and their significance for theories and concepts), and those able to share the voices of activist representative groups and movements that are rarely seen in the scholarly literature. In other words, our journal aims both to advance social justice and be the change we strive for by encouraging contributions that share the perspectives of disadvantaged and marginalized groups.E&U particularly encourages researchers, NGO staff, professionals and activists in Africa, Asia and Latin America to write about their work, present their ideas and debate issues. We promote the work of French, Spanish and Portuguese-speaking authors by arranging for the translation of their work into English.Papers commonly deal with poverty, inequality, and the power relations underpinning both disadvantage and transformation. Papers also report on trends, policies, programmes and practices related to urbanization, urban development and urban environments. We are concerned with processes of progressive change, while recognizing that these are contested, and that change is neither uni-linear nor necessarily progressive. Urbanization processes are often poorly understood and papers that contribute insights supporting an accurate understanding of grounded realities are important to us. We recognize that sustainable development, including needed responses to climate change, is critical to both current and future populations, and that ecosystems have a critical role in the wellbeing of urban populations and the resilience of their cities. We encourage contributions related to such themes.Published since 1989, Environment and Urbanization is one of the most widely read and distributed journals in its field. Free or discounted subscriptions are available to NGOs and teaching/training institutions in the Global South.

ENVIRONMENT AND URBANIZATION中文简介：

环境与城市化(E&U)旨在通过提供知识，推动一个更加社会公正和环境可持续的城市世界。我们的重点是全球南部，那里估计有三分之一的城市人口居住在非正式定居点，一半以上的人在非正式经济中工作。联合国的预测显示，未来几十年，全球人口增长几乎都将集中在全球南部的城市中心。贡献者本文包括那些与关键社会科学添加理论和概念的见解,这些报道创新的实证研究,增强我们对上下文的理解和解决方案(和他们的意义理论和概念),和那些能够分享维权代表群体的声音和动作,学术文献中很少见到。换句话说，我们的期刊旨在促进社会正义，并通过鼓励与弱势群体和边缘群体观点一致的贡献，成为我们努力实现的变革。E&U特别鼓励非洲、亚洲和拉丁美洲的研究人员、非政府组织工作人员、专业人士和活动人士写他们的工作、提出他们的想法和辩论问题。我们通过安排将法语、西班牙语和葡萄牙语作家的作品翻译成英语，促进他们的工作。论文通常涉及贫困、不平等以及支撑劣势和转型的权力关系。文件还报告了与城市化、城市发展和城市环境有关的趋势、政策、方案和做法。我们关注逐步变化的进程，同时认识到这些进程是有争议的，而且变化既不是单线的，也不一定是渐进的。城市化进程往往得不到很好的理解，而那些有助于准确理解实际情况的论文对我们很重要。我们认识到可持续发展，包括应对气候变化的必要措施，对当前和未来人口都至关重要，生态系统对城市人口福祉和城市恢复能力具有至关重要的作用。我们鼓励与这些主题有关的贡献。《环境与城市化》自1989年出版以来，是该领域最广泛阅读和发行的期刊之一。全球南部的非政府组织和教学/培训机构可以免费或打折订阅。
