History of Journal
The greatest credit in the creation of this journal should be assigned to Prof. Fikret Huseynov Movsum oglu.
Fikret Huseynov Movsum oglu (1944–2016) was one of the founding group of architecture professors at the Faculty of Architecture at the Azerbaijan Civil Engineering Institute (now the Azerbaijan University of Architecture and Construction) in Baku, serving as the first chair of the journal’s editorial board (members of the first editorial board were famous Azerbaijani architects and academics as Prof. Gulchohra Mammadova, Davud Ahundov, Elmir Abdulayev, Shamil Fatullayev, Aybeniz Hasanova). Professor Fikret Huseynov has led the faculty of architecture and urban planning for more than 30 years and was the Head of the Department of Architectural Design and Urban Planning at Azerbaijan University and Architecture and Construction. In USSR, he became the youngest doctor of sciences in the architecture realm, elevating his school of architects and town planners and opening a new direction in science city planning.
In 2000, Professor Fikret Huseynov Movsum oglu, an Honorary Architect, Doctor of Science in Architecture and Urban Planning and Academician, founded the Society of Urbanists of Azerbaijan. The journal was established in 2001 by the Society of Urbanists of Azerbaijan. The international scope of the journal gradually began to expand mostly after a new chief editor, Prof. Emir Huseynov Fikret oglu, took over in 2016. He has extensive professional and academic experience worldwide and the students of his courses have successfully participated in international competitions. He is a Doctor of Science in Sustainable Urban Planning.
During this time among the standard issues there started a tradition of monothematic-focused issues.
This reflected also the growth of the editorial board by foreign specialists such as Prof. Alexandre Hedjazi, Alexey Krasheninnikov, and Nora Lombardini. The journal was gradually indexed in international databases as EBSCO (from 2018) and CrossRef (from 2021).
