About the journal
Aims and scope
Planning Theory & Practice provides an international focus for the development of theory and practice in spatial planning and a forum to promote the policy dimensions of space and place. Planning Theory & Practice aims to challenge theory and change practice and is distinctive in its commitment to publishing content which combines intellectual rigour with practical impact.
The Editors invite theoretically informed and robustly researched papers which raise issues at the leading edge of planning theory and practice. Papers on controversial subjects are welcomed and supported. Authors are requested to draw out the wider significance of their particular contribution and to write for a broad disciplinary and international audience.
The journal’s innovative Interface section adopts an original approach to stimulating critical and challenging debate through academic publishing. This includes promoting dialogue between the academic and practitioner communities, encouraging analytical reflection on practice and practical engagement with theory. Each issue of Interface offers a multifaceted investigation of a topical theme, in the form of a series of contributions reflecting on an issue from different perspectives.
The journal’s Comments and Reviews section comprises Policy & Planning Briefs, which provide critical insights into key policy developments and analysis of spatial plans, Book Reviews, and Comments on a current issue and rejoinders to articles previously published.
The range of Planning Theory & Practice includes:
• Developing the theoretical and methodological foundations of planning theory and practice, as well as urban studies more generally;
• Developing the contributions of the planning field to social science, both analytically and normatively;
• Exploring the relationship between theory and practice, including reviews which examine emergent practices and interpret them in the light of current intellectual debates;
• Challenging the impact of intellectual ideas through critical reflection and review;
• Examining policy development in particular fields such as housing, regeneration, transport, urban design, participatory practice, diversity and climate change.
The journal is co-owned by the Royal Town Planning Institute and Taylor & Francis

AESOP Prize Success for PTP
Endorsements
" Planning Theory & Practice (PTP) has quickly become a major force in the field of urban and regional planning scholarship...the speed with which PTP has become a magnet for the best scholarly authors in planning is astounding. I believe it now ranks as one of the top five English language planning journals in the world, in terms of the quality of the work published."
Professor Bruce Stiftel
2004 President of the Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning (USA)
“To submit my manuscript to Planning Theory and Practice was a very fruitful learning experience. The commentary offered by the journal was very accurate and provided a constructive critique using a very motivating tone. I recommend the journal to all those authors who have great ideas and still few experience in publishing in high impact journals on planning. The positive feeling, which all the editors transmit, really helps to motivate the work needed to advance the quality of your manuscripts.”
Enza Lissandrello
“If you are concerned about the quality of life in either your neighborhood, city or region; feel enthusiastic and knowledgeable about a planning effort to improve the situation; and want to share your insights about the planning process or its outcome, please, consider writing an article for Planning Theory and Practice (PTP).
PTP bridges the conventional divide between theory and practice of planning: it provides a forum for individuals who want to transcend such conceptual dichotomies and are inspired by complex but hopeful analyses of planning processes and outcomes.
PTP 's intellectual scope and institutional reach are both local and global: whether you care to write about planning of your neighborhood or that of cites and regions in other nations, PTP offers you a deliberative forum of the highest quality with a large number of contributors.
I urge you to join this international and exceptional forum on the theoretical underpinnings of effective planning practice.”

About the journal
Planning Theory & Practice is an international, peer reviewed journal, publishing high-quality, original research. Please see the journal’s Aims & Scope for information about its focus and peer-review policy.
Please note that this journal only publishes manuscripts in English.
This journal accepts the following article types: reasearch articles; book reviews; comment articles; policy & planning briefs; interface articles.
Suggestions and proposals for themes to be explored in the Interface section are welcomed and should be discussed with the Interface editors in the first instance. Please contact Libby Porter, email: libby.porter@rmit.edu.au or John Forester, email: johnforester@cornell.edu.
Book Reviews should give the audience a concise summary and offer a critical assessment of the content and wider significance of texts for planning theory and practice. We welcome the re-evaluation of 'classic' planning texts within the context of a more recent publication. In addition, we are happy to discuss ideas for longer thematic reviews of one of more book, or 'review symposiums' where more than one author wants to tackle key text(s).
Policy & Planning Briefs can include (1) critical insights and analysis of key policy developments and debates; (2) analysis of spatial plans, with a preference for those plans that seek to depart from conventional structure, content, aims and plan processes; (3) analysis of innovative planning programs and approaches to planning problems or (4) retrospective analysis of pivotal strategic and spatial plans and their impact on practice. Policy & Planning Briefs should have an international relevance and appeal.
Comment articles can include retorts to previously published Planning Theory & Practice articles or critical reflections on developments within theory and planning practice. Longer style comment pieces that develop arguments and/or provocations directed at the practices, processes and theories of planning are also welcome.
Suggestions for comment and reviews should be emailed directly to the Comments and Reviews editors, Andy Inch, email: a.inch@sheffield.ac.uk or Crystal Legacy, email: crystal.legacy@unimelb.edu.au.
