How

U3 challenges the potential of the web and experiences a brand new editorial formula enhancing the dialectics between the monthly issues of the columns "Rubriche" and the material content offered by the thematic notebooks "Quaderni", that are published quarterly at the care of a guest editor. U3 is open to contribution of academics, especially young researchers and Ph.Ds and all those who, at the national and international level, might and wish to express ideas or report valuable findings. We want this journal to be a place in tune with the emerging problems of the design of a more just and livable city and in touch with all new ideas and experiences regarding the prospects of a collective construction of the space. We would like it to be open to different voices and disciplines, even outside the academic world, everywhere the topics of the city and the territory are being dealt.

The main language is Italian, with English abstracts, but several contributions are provided with a full English version. U3 columns and notebooks reflect the wide range of its interest fields and host different media: texts, audios and videos. Contributions are on current research (Focus), Interviews (Conversations) notes, trip reports, exchanges and research experiences abroad (Travels), reviews and re-readings of texts (Readings), representations of cities and territories (Pictures & Videos), reports of conferences, seminars, exhibitions (Reports), insights on specific terms (Lexicon).
