Here's a fun question for my return to twitter-like media. What are academic journals that publish stuff about urban planning/urbanism/traffic studies, but with a humanities-ish angle?

There is increasing evidence that the world has warmed faster over the past 15 years than it has since the 1970s. Surface records, ocean heat content, and the Earth's energy imbalance all support an acceleration of warming, as I argue in today's @nytimes.com: www.nytimes.com/2023/10/13/o...
