Urban Science and Real Estate Dynamics: Insights into Housing, Finance, and Land Use

Dear Colleagues,

The journals of Real Estate, Land, Urban Science, and Architecture invite submissions that explore the complex relationships shaping contemporary urban environments, particularly how housing markets, financial mechanisms, and land use policies interact within the broader framework of urban science. Topics may include housing affordability and supply, land value capture, zoning and regulatory impacts, real estate finance and investment, infrastructure development, urban spatial modeling, and the role of data and technology in understanding urban systems.

We also welcome original research, theoretical contributions, and policy-oriented analyses that examine the role of climate adaptation in housing development, the impact of PropTech on property markets and land economics, and the integration of sustainability goals into urban planning. As urban environments face growing pressures from environmental change and digital disruption, this topic expands to advance scholarly dialogue on how climate resilience and technological innovation are reshaping real estate and land use. Topics of interest include—but are not limited to—green housing finance, climate risk and property valuation, smart city infrastructure, digital platforms in real estate, and policy mechanisms for sustainable urban growth. Interdisciplinary approaches and empirical studies using novel data or methods are particularly encouraged.

The participants can select one of the four above journals to submit their papers, provided they fall within the scope of the selected journal.
