The first two articles of the forthcoming issue of the scientific journal Urbani izziv (Vol. 37, No. 1) have been published online.

The first article, titled Assessing carbon sequestration based on tree species in urban areas: findings from Bucharest, is authored by Laurentiu Ciornei and Athanasios-Alexandru Gavrilidis. The authors analyse the role of urban trees in carbon sequestration in Bucharest and highlight the importance of expanding the use of native tree species and nature-based approaches to urban greening.

The second article, titled Vitality of medium-sized cities: results of a multicriteria spatial analysis, is authored by Petar Vranić, Ljiljana Vasilevska, and Ivana Petkovski. The authors examine the spatial distribution of urban vitality in Niš and present an important analytical framework for spatial planning, urban regeneration, and further research on medium-sized post-socialist cities.
