JOURNALS – Special Issues

The authors of selected abstracts will be invited to submit their final manuscripts for publication in a journal special issue. The invitation email will indicate for which journal the manuscript should be prepared, and final manuscripts must strictly follow the specific instructions for authors of the indicated journal. Submissions must be made by June 15 and the final decision will be communicated by September 30. For now, the Organizing Committee has assured the publication of a special issue on the following journals:

A proposal for a special issue of Urban Studies, titled “Automating Affordable Housing: Digital Tools for Construction, Labor Geographies, and Urban Inequalities,” has been submitted by Filipe Brandão, Helder Lopes, and Flávio Nunes, of the local organizing committee of Spatial Humanities 2026.

The issue aims to explore how digital fabrication, robotic construction, and 3D printing are reshaping housing production and urban inequality. Following the conference, selected authors may be invited to submit extended versions of their papers for consideration. All submissions will undergo the journal’s standard double-blind peer-review process.

The special issue will not be limited to conference participants, as an open Call for Papers will also be launched to ensure broad international engagement.

Further details will be announced after the conference
