Progress in Planning

Progress in Planning is a peer-reviewed international journal publishing in-depth, authoritative research on planning. We publish scholarship across the breadth of urban and regional planning, including advancements in the field, bringing together perspectives on cities and planning from diverse disciplines and global contexts. We welcome original research, practice, and pedagogy manuscripts from authors in all countries and regions. Aspiring to be the “global journal of record”, our multidisciplinary readership spans planning, urban studies, geography, environmental science, and policy. The journal also publishes themed special issues and supports supplementary material such as videos and graphical illustrations.

Manuscript subject areas include:

Spatial planning and development: including land use, urban regeneration, transport, environment, and sustainability.

Housing, poverty, and social policy: including housing systems, economic opportunity, inequality, and spatial and environmental justice.

Planning history and theory: including conceptual foundations, historical perspectives, and planning education.

Innovation and new technologies: including, but not limited to, digital and AI-assisted planning, and their ethical and institutional implications.
