Urban Studies

Urban Studies was established in 1964 to provide an international forum for the discussion of issues arising in the field of urban and regional planning. Regular contributions are drawn from the fields of economics, planning, political science, demography, statistics, geography, sociology and public administration. The Journal also publishes the occasional 'state of the art' article, consisting of an analytical review of the major strands of contemporary thinking in a given topic area, supported by an extended bibliography of the topic. Urban Studies thus deals with every kind of urban and regional problem that can be tackled by the social sciences or other related modes of systematic analysis. This includes problems ranging from optimal city size, local and regional economies and transport patterns to urban housing, employment, race, politics and crime. Although most articles deal with problems located in the advanced industrial societies of Europe and the Americas, increasing numbers of articles dealing with similar issues in Asia, the Third World and Eastern Europe are appearing in every issue.
