About the Journal
Urbis is dedicated to advancing research on behavioral science and sustainable urban development, taking its name from the Latin word for "city" to directly signal its territorial focus: all inquiry published in the journal is situated within the urban context. As a peer-reviewed, international, and fully open-access publication, Urbis examines the dynamic interplay between human behavior and the built environment, ecological systems, and institutional frameworks that shape urban life. The journal aims to generate actionable knowledge that can inform the design, governance, and transformation of cities toward greater sustainability, livability, and equity.
