New in CiCo: Do college roommate assignments shape where we choose to live later in life? Matt Vogel, Samantha Friedman, and Stefan Ivanov find that students assigned a roommate of a different race or ethnicity are more than twice as likely to choose a diverse dorm room the following year!

If you haven't already, check out the great papers in our March issue! First up, Jacob Lederman’s study of Detroit examines how two different urban coalitions used placemaking as a tool to bridge contradictory goals in favor of market-aligned development. Link below.
The final Associate Editor to introduce is Orly Clerge! Her work on race, migration, and cities makes her a great addition to the editorial team. She is also the author of The New Noir, an exploration of the making of Black diasporic suburbs. Welcome, Orly—we're thrilled to have you on the team!
The third Associate Editor we'd like to welcome is @jeremylevine.bsky.social! Jeremy's previous work on development established him as a leading voice on the role of nonprofits in urban governance, and his newer work looks at inequality in victim compensation law. We're thrilled to have him!
Another new feature we're excited to introduce is City Blocks🏙️ — highly-citable, short research notes that introduce new data, concepts, and methodologies to the study of urban life. If you have a small-scale contribution to make, see submission information below!
Jessica Simes (jtsimes.bsky.social) is joining CiCo as an Associate Editor! Her work examines how the carceral system shapes inequality and health. Her award-winning book, Punishing Places, uses spatial analysis to show how incarceration impacts communities. We’re honored to have her on the team!

Over the next few days, we'll introduce our four new Associate Editors. First up: @philipgarboden.bsky.social, who studies supply-side housing market actors and policy. His work on landlords has shaped how we understand their role in housing markets and communities. We're lucky to have him!
We have a few new features we'd like to introduce starting with City Books—our new way of highlighting recently published books in urban sociology. You'll start to see these in issues over the next year, but in the meantime, let us know if you have a new book we should consider! Info below. 📚
You may have noticed that City & Community has a new look 😎 We took what we love about cities—connections, networks, public transit—and rendered them in Georgetown’s blue and grey and UCLA’s blue and gold. It’s just one of several exciting new changes you’ll see in the coming issues, so stay tuned!
With our March 2026 issue, we can officially welcome @annowens.bsky.social and Brian J. McCabe as the new editors of City & Community! They are excited to continue publishing the impactful research that the journal is known for. Their editorial introduction highlights the exciting changes to come.
