The density and urbanization patterns in the Americas not only differ from those of Europe and Asia due to their urban concentration rates—among the highest globally—but also because of the historical and cultural dynamics that have shaped them. This issue of ARQ seeks to explore the diverse urban, spatial, and ecological processes that characterize densely inhabited America: from the histories of formal and informal settlements to the architectures and infrastructures that shape the daily lives of its vast populations. Columns, critiques (up to 1500 words), and articles (up to 6000 words) are welcome.
