urbanNext | expanding architecture to rethink cities and territories
urbanNext was created in 2015 by Actar Publishers, the leading publishing house based in New York and Barcelona, with more than 30 years of experience publishing books on architecture, urbanism and landscape architecture. Throughout 7 years, we consolidated a curated database of multi-format content about contemporary urban environments. We have produced exclusive series of content, and published the most innovative case studies and researches.
urbanNext Lexicon is a revamped website launched in 2023 that introduces a new way to access to architecture knowledge. Its powerful search engine and weekly topics allow our audience to engagingly navigate and stay up to date with current architectural theories and practices.
