About the journal

Aims and scope
Urban Research & Practice is a well-established and exciting journal that publishes a wide range of original academic research articles along with innovative articles on policy and practice. The journal is published in association with EURA (European Urban Research Association), is a cross-disciplinary journal, with a focus on urban studies.
Urban Research & Practice seeks to reflect and further enhance the rich diversity of thought, approach and research that currently characterises the study of urban areas in Europe and elsewhere. As such it aims to be a key part of the renaissance of Urban Studies currently taking place, making contributions to academic research and policy development. The journal publishes research of the highest quality relating to the challenges facing urban environments today. Another key aim of the journal is to seek to bridge the intellectual and geographical 'divides' that currently exist in the field of urban affairs - specifically the North/South divide and the East/West divide and also divides between distinct academic disciplines.
The journal includes papers that:
- provide a systematic description of :
- urban issues
- urban developments
- urban policies or
- urban policy-making and policy implementation
- seek to explain variations in urban policies or urban governance cross-sectorally or cross-nationally or that seek to explain such variations over time
- analyse and/or evaluate the effects of urban policies or process of urban governance
- analyse European and International factors that impact on urban areas, urban policies and urban governance
- urban sustainability (environmental, economic and social dimensions)
-
Policy articles, practice articles and book reviews
As well as traditional academic papers, the journal also publishes policy reviews, practice and project reports and book reviews. The policy section focuses on new policies launched at the European, national and regional levels that are of relevance to a wider audience. The practice and project report section focuses on innovative projects, conferences and events being carried out at a local level (in cities or regions).
