Cityscapes and Well-being: Women's Health in an Urbanising World

Dr. Mehan is pleased to announce the upcoming Special Collection, "Cityscapes and Well-being: Women's Health in an Urbanizing World," as part of Sage Journals' Women's Health, which has an Impact Factor of 2.7 and a 5-year Impact Factor of 3.6.

This collection will explore the intersection of urban planning, architecture, and public health from a gendered perspective, addressing both the opportunities and challenges that rapid urbanization presents for women's health and well-being. It welcomes interdisciplinary contributions on topics such as:

• Feminist urbanism and the right to the city

• Health disparities in urban settings and their gendered dimensions

• Gender-sensitive planning in emergency and disaster resilience

• Public spaces, safety, and mental well-being

• Access to healthcare in urban contexts

• The role of digital and smart city innovations in addressing women's health inequities

By bridging research across urban studies, gender studies, public health, and policy design, this collection aims to contribute to a more inclusive urban future. Dr. Mehan invites scholars, practitioners, and policymakers to submit empirical and theoretical contributions that advance the discourse on gender and urban health.

Submissions are open until September 22, 2025. For more details and submission guidelines, please visit: Cityscapes and Well-being: Women's Health in an Urbanising World : Women's Health: Sage Journals
