İDEALKENT is an academic journal focused on urbanization and spatial studies. It is peer-reviewed and committed to scientific publishing principles. Published by İdealKent Publications since 2010, it features original research produced in the fields of architecture, city and regional planning, urban sociology/urban studies, and local governance. The journal provides an open platform for interdisciplinary studies that examine the relationships between city, society, and space together with their social, economic, cultural, and administrative dimensions. In addition to academic research conducted using qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods, theoretical and methodological contributions are also considered. İDEALKENT aims to bring contemporary urban issues into scientific debate and to produce lasting contributions to the literature.
