ArtPlace
The ArtPlace archive is a virtual gallery of artwork depicting a range of urban environments, from sketches, to models, and everything in between. We invite your inner artist to share a piece of artwork, with a short description to explain what it depicts and why you created it. Examples of ArtPlace articles can be found here or linked below.
- A Million Miles Away – Angela Brady
- Jodhpur, India – Shruti Hemani

Review a book
The Book Review is a recurring feature in which one of the AoU’s members read and review a book that speaks to urbanism – whether through a political, practical, or creative lens. If you’re interested in reading and reviewing a book for a future edition of the Here & Now Journal, and/or if you have a suggestion of a book that could be reviewed, please send an email, with examples of your written work, to [email protected]
