Environment and Planning B: Planning and Design
Environment and Planning B: Planning and Design has one of the fastest growing readerships of any journal in the field of urban planning and design. Its goal is the publication of high quality articles which report leading edge research in the application of formal methods, methods models, and theories to spatial problems which involve the built environment and the spatial structure of cities and regions. The journal also specialises in new approaches to planning and design methods which explore ways of generating and evaluating optimal plans and policies.
With recent dramatic developments in computing and networking, the journal has become a forum for major research in the application of computers to planning and design, in particular the use of shape grammars, artificial intelligence, and morphological methods to buildings and towns, the use of multimedia and GIS in urban and regional planning, and the development of ideas concerning the virtual city. These are areas of research that the journal is especially interested in promoting at present but within the general frame work of promoting any new approaches to planning and design which reflect formal methods of inquiry and analysis.
Environment and Planning C: Government and Policy
Environment and Planning C: Government and Policy is a fully refereed journal committed to interdisciplinary research on issues of Government and Policy with an international perspective.
The journal is interested in theoretical papers and empirical assessment. It also considers case studies provided that they have a broader international relevance. It is committed to a broad range of policy questions, not just those related to government and public policy. It has had many path-breaking papers on nonstate agents, private-public collaboration, and NGOs (nongovernmental organisations). All areas of economic, social and environmental institutions, and policy are included, as reflected in the broad Editorial Board. Disciplines from which papers are derived are broad and include political science, planning, geography, economics, law, sociology, and public administration. There is a strong presence of papers from North America, Britain, and Europe, but papers from all countries are encouraged.
European Journal of Housing Policy
The European Journal of Housing Policy aims to be the leading forum for the critical analysis of housing policy, systems and practice in Europe from a social science perspective.
EJHP is being established in response to the increasing interest in both academic and practitioner communities in locating national housing policies within an international context. This interest has been heightened by the process of European integration in the west and by transformation in central and eastern Europe.
When addressing policy issues it is increasingly common for academics and governments to turn to other countries in search of transferable solutions to shared problems. EJHP strives to aid this process, whilst recognising differences in institutional and cultural contexts.

International Planning Studies
Planning, at urban, regional, national and international levels, faces new challenges, notably those related to the growth of globalisation as both an objective socio-economic process and a shift in policy-maker perceptions and modes of analysis.
International Planning Studies addresses these issues by publishing quality research in a variety of specific fields and from a range of theoretical and normative perspectives, which helps improve understanding of the actual and potential role of planning and planners in this context.
IPS fills a gap between the more specialist theoretical and empirical journals in planning and urban-regional studies. In so doing it throws new light on the influences on, and effects of, the evolution of planning around the world.
