Aims & Scope

Town Planning Review has been one of the world"s leading journals of urban and regional planning since its foundation in 1910. With an extensive international readership, TPR is a well established urban and regional planning journal, providing a principal forum for communication between researchers and students, policy analysts and practitioners. To mark TPR’s centenary in 2010, it is proposed to publish a series of ‘Centenary Papers’ -- review papers that record and reflect on the state of the art in a range of topics in the general field of town and regional planning.
