Časopis vznikol na Katedre histórie Filozofickej fakulty UPJŠ v Košiciach a bude sa orientovať na publikovanie príspevkov z oblasti urbánnych dejín. Tento zámer súvisí s jednou z výskumných priorít pracoviska – výskumom dejín Košíc. Ambíciou je vytvoriť širšie fórum pre historikov ale i odborníkov z iných oblastí, v ktorom by sa koncentrovali výsledky ich práce orientované na urbánne, príp. regionálne dejiny.

Časopis bude vychádzať dvakrát ročne. Redakčné uzávierky sú stanovené na február a august.

Prvé dvojčíslo obsahuje 18 príspevkov, ktoré sú venované témam z dejín štyroch stredoeurópskych miest (Košice, Krakov, Miskolc, Opava) v časovom rozpätí od 14. do 18. storočia. Všetky príspevky v tomto dvojčísle sú v anglickom jazyku.
