For the past fifty years, the analysis of urban planning discourses, and of discourses of city dwellers and citizens, has given rise to many monographs as well as rare comparative and critical studies, both in English and in French. The growing accessibility of textual data has given new relevance to these by-now-classic approaches. Online media, websites, social networks, and planning documents (Buhler and Lethier, 2019) are making new analyses possible. On the one hand, computer-aided text-analysis methods and tools (Lebart and Salem, 1994) have continuously been developed and become more accessible to the academic community. Free open-source tools such as IRAMUTEQ (Ratinaud, 2009) and TXM (Heiden et al 2010) have, for example, greatly facilitated access to software for processing these semantic corpora. On the other hand, the diversity of media used opens the way for analyses which, drawing inspiration from approaches developed in the field of cultural studies, attempt to understand the effects that formats have on the ways in which discourses are framed (Matthey, Gaberell, Cogato-Lanza, and Ambal, 2023). This is the context in which Issue 24 of Articulo — Journal of Urban Research is being published.
