The Call for Papers initiative, known as Critical and Conceptual Advances in Urban Studies, aspires to be a catalyst for groundbreaking research and thought-provoking discussions that will shape the future of urban studies and contribute to the sustainable and equitable development of cities around the globe. As a key part of the initiative, this call for The Urbanisation of Conflict and Conflict Urbanisation aims to develop new theoretical and empirically grounded insights into how conflict is being shaped by the urban and, in turn, how the urban is being transformed by war.
