  • Journal hiatus

    2026-06-16

    Thank you for your interest in the Philosophy of the City Journal. 

    The editorial board has made the decision to suspend publication of the journal at this time. Due to capacity changes and circumstances related to the broader scholarly context of the journal there is currently no viable way to keep publishing, while maintaining sufficient quality and consistency for the research community. 

    We sincerely apologise for any delays caused, and hope you will be able to submit your article for review and publication elsewhere. 

    Together with the University of Groningen Press, we will ensure that the volumes which have been published remain available as part of the scholarly record, and freely accessible to the academic community. We also consider it possible that the decision to suspend publication of the journal may be revised, should circumstances warrant it in the future. For now we would like to thank you for your hard work and support of the philosophy of the city community, and ask you to check back in 2027 for updates. 

    Best wishes,

    The Editorial Board

  • New issue: Cities by Night is out

    2024-11-14

    We are delighted to announce the publication of our latest thematic issue exploring the nocturnal dimensions of urban life.

    This issue brings together eight contributions that illuminate the relationships between cities and their nights. Through studies of nocturnal walking in Paris and Helsinki, rooftop protests in Iran, nightclub spaces, and light festivals, our contributors reveal how urban nights serve as sites of knowledge-making, contemplation, transgression, and political possibility. 

    The issue represents a significant step in developing a philosophy of urban nights, opening new conversations about how we live in, understand, and imagine our cities after dark.
