Cuestión Urbana es una publicación científica de periodicidad semestral, creada por el Centro de Estudios de Ciudad de la Facultad de Ciencias Sociales de la UBA como parte de su política de difusión. Tiene por objetivo contribuir al necesario debate sobre la ciudad en sus múltiples dimensiones, tanto como escenario, como objeto de políticas públicas y/o prácticas sociales. Centra sus intereses académicos en el ámbito del Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires, pero con apertura a otras ciudades del país y de América Latina. Para estos fines, propicia el intercambio y comunicación de reflexiones teóricas y empíricas y avances de investigación; incluye el diálogo con iniciativas de vinculación y transferencia, y los discursos producidos por actores sociales de relevancia para las temáticas propuestas. Se espera de esta manera contribuir al diálogo entre disciplinas y perspectivas que abordan el campo. Cada número toma a modo de dossier un aspecto o problemática particular de la ciudad y lo trata en clave de su particular impacto para los sectores sociales que en ella viven.
