Vol. 6 No. 1 (2026): Journal of Mediterranean Cities

This issue of the Journal of Mediterranean Cities brings together interdisciplinary research addressing the evolving relationship between architecture, landscape, heritage, environmental performance, and urban transformation across Mediterranean and comparable contexts. The contributions explore resilient landscape frameworks for desertification-prone oases, the effects of infrasound on human well-being in living spaces, and the reinterpretation of traditional dovecotes within contemporary architectural discourse. The issue further examines the dialogue between architecture and landscape through Portuguese case studies, the conservation and adaptive use of linear cultural heritage, and the role of tactical urbanism in revitalizing neglected urban spaces in developing cities. Complementing these perspectives, an experimental study evaluates the thermal performance of perforated solar screens across different façade orientations, advancing climate-responsive design strategies. Together, these articles highlight innovative approaches that connect cultural heritage, environmental resilience, human comfort, and sustainable urban development.
