Summary:This article is the Editorial of the Special Issue 'Perception, representation and narration of environmental and urban risk: floods, earthquakes, desertification, pollution, health, gentrification'. It reflects on the aims and failures of this special issue. Space is given to a brief reflection on the role that humanistic geography plays in the study of perception, and the importance that a broader development of this approach could have in understanding human attitudes toward risk perception and prevention. Then, in the words of the authors themselves, the main points that distinguish the contributions of the scholars who have contributed to this special issue are taken up, offering a wide range of investigations on the subject.
