Abstract

Each of the six articles of the Topical Issue presents a relevant contemporary approach to philosophy of the city. The array of themes range from justice issues to digitalization and smart city development and the gendered use of urban space to the implications of the Covid-19 pandemic. The concepts presented and used represent current themes in Philosophy of the City and also areas of interest for further transcultural study of the links between philosophical approaches and urban topics. The styles and objectives of the contributions vary and one can find more traditional philosophical research articles joined by more poetic style. This also reflects the broad range of the contemporary Philosophy of the City.
