Aims & Scope

Urban Planning is an international, peer-reviewed open access journal in the field of urban studies. With the aim of sparking discussions and providing new perspectives on the social, political, economic, and cultural dimensions of urban life, the journal welcomes multidisciplinary approaches to the study of town and city planning, design, development, and renewal. Recognising the value of both qualitative and quantitative methods and striving to open up debates on topics as diverse as housing, transportation, technology, sustainability, citizen participation, and heritage, among others, the journal ultimately wishes to bring together urban planning and progress and quality of life.
