中文簡介

環(huán)境與城市化(E&U)旨在通過提供知識，推動一個更加社會公正和環(huán)境可持續(xù)的城市世界。我們的重點是全球南部，那里估計有三分之一的城市人口居住在非正式定居點，一半以上的人在非正式經(jīng)濟中工作。聯(lián)合國的預(yù)測顯示，未來幾十年，全球人口增長幾乎都將集中在全球南部的城市中心。貢獻者本文包括那些與關(guān)鍵社會科學(xué)添加理論和概念的見解,這些報道創(chuàng)新的實證研究,增強我們對上下文的理解和解決方案(和他們的意義理論和概念),和那些能夠分享維權(quán)代表群體的聲音和動作,學(xué)術(shù)文獻中很少見到。換句話說，我們的期刊旨在促進社會正義，并通過鼓勵與弱勢群體和邊緣群體觀點一致的貢獻，成為我們努力實現(xiàn)的變革。E&U特別鼓勵非洲、亞洲和拉丁美洲的研究人員、非政府組織工作人員、專業(yè)人士和活動人士寫他們的工作、提出他們的想法和辯論問題。我們通過安排將法語、西班牙語和葡萄牙語作家的作品翻譯成英語，促進他們的工作。論文通常涉及貧困、不平等以及支撐劣勢和轉(zhuǎn)型的權(quán)力關(guān)系。文件還報告了與城市化、城市發(fā)展和城市環(huán)境有關(guān)的趨勢、政策、方案和做法。我們關(guān)注逐步變化的進程，同時認識到這些進程是有爭議的，而且變化既不是單線的，也不一定是漸進的。城市化進程往往得不到很好的理解，而那些有助于準確理解實際情況的論文對我們很重要。我們認識到可持續(xù)發(fā)展，包括應(yīng)對氣候變化的必要措施，對當(dāng)前和未來人口都至關(guān)重要，生態(tài)系統(tǒng)對城市人口福祉和城市恢復(fù)能力具有至關(guān)重要的作用。我們鼓勵與這些主題有關(guān)的貢獻。《環(huán)境與城市化》自1989年出版以來，是該領(lǐng)域最廣泛閱讀和發(fā)行的期刊之一。全球南部的非政府組織和教學(xué)/培訓(xùn)機構(gòu)可以免費或打折訂閱。

　　英文簡介

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.
