Urban Policy and Research

Scope

Urban Policy and Research is an international journal dedicated to the publication of refereed articles in English in the field of urban studies and urban policy for those with an interest in Australia, New Zealand and the wider Asia Pacific region. The scope of the journal is international in two senses: it presents to a worldwide readership a view of the urban policies of particular countries, and it encourages dialogue among researchers, policy makers and practitioners in the Australasian region. Urban Policy and Research seeks to develop better links between theoretical and empirical research and urban policy practice. It seeks to stimulate informed debate about urban issues by publishing peer-reviewed research articles and practice review papers from a wide range of theoretical, ideological and methodological approaches. We also encourage papers from scholars in the UK, EU and USA/Canada that offer comparative analyses of Australian/New Zealand and Asia-Pacific urban policy issues.
