This initiative introduces book review forums aimed at fostering generative debates within the field of Urban Geography. In contrast to traditional book reviews that focus on utilitarian assessments, these forums are designed to explore frameworks and concepts that are not yet prevalent in the discipline. The new format includes two types of forums: book forums, which feature multiple reviews of a single book, and topic forums, which discuss multiple books on a single topic. The goal is to embrace "radical openness" and provide a space for in-depth exploration and discussion of innovative ideas and perspectives.
