 Urbano (Digital ISSN: 0718-3607 / ISSN printed: 0717-3997) has been published scientific by the Department of Planning and Urban Design at the University of the Bío-Bío since 1998.

Urbano specializes in urban-territorial issues and its main objective is to explore, the territorial dimension of the study of the city and the territory. Urbano is open to a variety of approaches and methodologies, especially to multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research that makes it possible to visualize the city and region from a broad context that is applicable to urban and territorial management. Urbano is intended for researchers and academics whose manuscripts provide a critical vision of the urban phenomenon and its consequences for the transformation of medium-sized cities and territories at the local and regional level, mainly in the Ibero-American arena, but also regarding the existing problems in the global south.

Urbano accepts scientific articles on unpublished research results, master’s and doctoral theses. Sporadically publishes monographic issues as a result of thematic calls or as a mechanism for the publication of related thematic axes of national and international congresses.

Urbano is published biannually in the second half of May and November. It accepts articles written in Spanish and English. The submitted articles must be original and unpublished and must not simultaneously be before another journal or editorial body for consideration. It prints general issues with assorted manuscripts within its focus and scope, and occasionally publishes monographic issues resulting from thematic calls for papers, or as a means of publishing core topics related to national and international conferences. The submission of manuscripts presupposes that authors have knowledge of and accept the Editorial Norms and Guidelines for Authors.
