The Journal of Urbanism is a multi-disciplinary journal that focuses on human settlement and its relation to the idea of sustainability, social justice and cultural understanding. It is concerned with the relative impact of design on environmental perception, urban livability and the experience of space.
The journal addresses a wide range of urban concerns, and aims, by publishing research from a variety of theoretical, methodological and conceptual perspectives, to create an attitude of sustainability toward urban form.
Journal of Urbanism is particularly interested in:
• The rural-urban transect in theory and practice
• Policies designed to promote urbanism and assessments of outcome
• Studies of living preferences
• Urban regeneration
• New urbanism
• Smart growth
• Livable communities
• Transit-oriented development
• The role of historical preservation in the urban sustainability movement
• Theories of urban architecture and urbanism
• Walkable communities
• Urban morphology
Peer Review Statement
All manuscript submissions are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by at least two, but usually three, independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is double anonymized.
"This journal fills a gaping intellectual hole -- the intersection of place-making, community building, and green urbanism. JoU is a much welcomed addition to the scholarly literature on how to put neighborboods and cities of the future on more sustainable pathways."
