Cuadernos de Vivienda y Urbanismo (CVU) is a publication of the Faculty of Architecture and Design at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana. CVU is a refereed journal that publishes scientific papers related to housing policies, urban design and urban / regional planning from a trans-disciplinary point of view, focused, but not reduced to, low-income communities in the Latin American context. The decision to accept, review or reject a paper is taken by the Editorial Board, based on the reports of external referees and communicated to the main author by the Editor. The evaluation is guided by the following criteria: i) content of the article: relevance, contributions to the field, depth and methodological and conceptual rigor. ii) Formal aspects: style, structure and legibility. CVU is aimed at reaching students, academics and professionals within disciplines related to housing, urban design and urban / regional planning. One of the journal’s goals is to become important source and reference for information about urban policies and development in Latin America.
