Unlike a glossy shelter magazine, we see homes, architecture, interior design, cities, neighborhoods, and properties for sale as related points on a spectrum."

Scholarly journals

Notes:
   1. this list was mostly developed by selecting high-ranked, topic-relevant journals from the Scimago Journal Rank, "Urban Studies" category - which covers housing, planning, urban studies: https://www.scimagojr.com/journalrank.php?category=3322. Also, by noting more commonly-cited journals, reviewing bibliographies and YIMBYwiki Reading_List, etc. 

   2. We're trying to get RSS feed link(s) for these journals wherever they exist. For most people, tracking the journals' content via a RSS reader is probably the most plausible way to follow them. Some journals have email TOC-alerts (Table of Contents alerts when new issues come out). A few journals have Twitter feeds, these are noted.
