It seeks to stimulate informed debate about urban issues by publishing material from a wide range of theoretical and research approaches.While there is an emphasis on Australian and New Zealand urban policy, Urban Policy and Research welcomes articles of relevance to our core readership to encourage an outward looking perspective among scholars and practitioners.Peer Review StatementAll research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and refereeing by at least two anonymous reviewers.

Urban Political Ecology is an interdisciplinary journal that publishes state-of-the-art scholarship primarily rooted in the field of urban political ecology (UPE), along with related disciplines. The journal focuses on broad themes relating to urbanisation, including the role of politics in urban development, the mutual entanglement of structural inequalities in determining policies of urbanisation and the relationship with the natural environment, among others. Urban Political Ecology will publish three issues per volume – in April, August and December – including special issues on topical themes and novel areas of research.

The journal was inspired by Turning up the Heat, the 2023 Manchester University Press book that engages with cutting edge approaches for contemporary UPE. Turning up the Heat is a comprehensive collection of UPE scholarship that spans the globe and provides the foundations for Urban Political Ecology.

The journal includes papers that:provide a systematic description of :- urban issues- urban developments- urban policies or- urban policy-making and policy implementationseek to explain variations in urban policies or urban governance cross-sectorally or cross-nationally or that seek to explain such variations over timeanalyse and/or evaluate the effects of urban policies or process of urban governanceanalyse European-wide factors that impact on urban areas, urban policies and urban governance As well as traditional academic papers, the journal includes a policy section, a project report section 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 project report section focuses on innovative projects being carried out at a local level (in cities or regions).One of the key aims 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 the divides between distinct academic disciplines.

A peer-reviewed jornal, Urban Studies provides an international forum of social and economic contributions to the fields of urban and regional planning. Since then, the journal has expanded to encompass the increasing range of disciplines and approaches that have been brought to bear on urban and regional problems.

The Urban Water Journal provides a forum for the research and professional communities dealing with water systems in the urban environment, directly contributing to the discussion on sustainable development. Particular emphasis is placed on the analysis of interrelationships and interactions between the individual water systems, urban water bodies (including groundwater) and the environment. The Journal encourages the adoption of an integrated approach to solve the numerous problems associated with sustainable urban water management.The Urban Water Journal focuses on the water-related infrastructure in the city; namely potable water supply and distribution, sewerage and storm drainage. Specific topics include: network management, operation and rehabilitation; demand management and levels of service, water recycling and source control at multiple scales, as well as potable and wastewater treatment systems, where they relate to and interact with their respective networks. Papers discussing issues related to the monitoring, utilisation and management of urban groundwater are encouraged, as are papers concerned with water-sensitive planning and design (including analysis of interactions of the urban water cycle with city planning and landscaping), decision-making and informatics support, operational and asset management and associated economics. A strong emphasis is placed on data needs, acquisition and processing, knowledge discovery, quantification and management of uncertainty and the assurance of data and model quality and robustness.The Urban Water Journal is particularly interested in identifying, analysing and providing innovative solutions to challenges in sustainable urban water management in both the developed and the developing world including issues of education and vocational training of specialists in urban water.The readership of the Urban Water Journal consists of international specialists in civil, water and environmental engineering and other relevant disciplines associated with urban planning and the environment.All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.DisclaimerTaylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the 8220;Content8221;) contained in its publications.
