CIDADES is a publication aimed at disseminating research and reflections that involve the understanding of urban problems from a preferentially geographical perspective. Founded in 2002 under the responsibility of the Grupo de Estudos Urbanos (GEU), it is now based at the Universidade Federal da Fronteira Sul (UFFS) under the responsibility of a new group of editors who, in 2020, took over the journal under the commitment to plurality in the production of knowledge in the field of urban studies. The journal aims to contribute to expanding our ability to read and interpret the urbanization process and cities in a period in which the complexity of the relationships that guide processes and dynamics has been deepening and the pace of transformations has accelerated. Cidades is linked to the research line Production of urban-regional space of the Postgraduate Programme in Geography at UFFS.

  • Call for Paper Submissions for Thematic Dossier: City, Climate, and Socio-Environmental Inequalities

    26-04-2026

    The journal CIDADES announces the call for submissions to the thematic dossier “City, Climate, and Socio-Environmental Inequalities,” organized by the Brazilian Association of Climatology (ABClima).

    The dossier aims to bring together contributions that critically analyze the role of urban climate in the production and intensification of socio-environmental inequalities, considering its interfaces with health, spatial planning, and climate change. It is based on the assumption that climatic processes in cities are not limited to physical phenomena, but are also expressions of social, political, and spatial dynamics that shape different levels of exposure, vulnerability, and socio-environmental risk.

    The objective is to advance the understanding of the interactions between climate and urbanization in contemporary contexts, especially in light of the increasing occurrence of extreme events and their uneven impacts on populations and territories.
