Open to quality, novelty, and transdisciplinarity, in contributions of expertise or a more integrated approach, the journal is an initiative of the University of Porto involving FAUP, FCUP, FEUP, and FLUP, as well as the research centers CENP, CEGOT, CIBIO, and CITTA. This institutional diversity is reflected in its commitment to scientific breadth and openness to academics, students, professionals, artists, activists, and citizens, all of whom are invited to contribute bold, consistent, and creative proposals.

Public Space aims to be an editorial platform for debate, exhibition, and transformation, a place where thought becomes public, shared, and provocative. It is in the confrontation between visions, languages, and knowledge that the public space is truly constructed.
