About the Journal
The journal "Urban Studies" provides a forum for the exchange of views, experiences and research results between specialists in urban economics, urban planners, urban geographers, urban sociologists, as well as from other disciplines close to the problems of urban areas.
Purpose and Scope
- The main purpose of the journal is to provide an opportunity for the exchange of views and scientific research results on the broad issues of urban development and planning.
- The articles published in the journal deal with the processes of urban development, city planning and management of urban development. The issues addressed concern both theoretical foundations and the results of empirical research, primarily in the dissemination of good practices in this field from Poland and abroad. The journal is published in the form of a quarterly. The recruitment of texts for subsequent issues is continuous. Collected proposals for articles go to reviewers in January, May, July and October. The condition of publication of the text is positive formal verification of the text, carried out by the Editor, and obtaining two positive substantive reviews of the prepared work (or making corrections in the original version in accordance with the instructions of the Reviewer, if he allows the publication of the text after the correction).
About us

The journal is published periodically, in quarterly mode. The primary version of our journal is paper, but articles are also published in electronic form.
- According to the Announcement of the Minister of Education and Science dated December 1, 2021 on the list of scientific journals and peer-reviewed materials of international conferences, the number of points for publication in "Urban Studies" is 40.
- At present, the journal is registered in the databases: C.E.E.O.L, CEJSH, Index Copernicus, BazEkon and is also present in other journal databases: PBN - Polish Scientific Bibliography, National Library Database, ARIANTA, IGIPZ PAN database, Naukowiec.org database.
- We hope that the scientific level of the articles and the topicality of the issues raised will find your recognition. The recipients of the publication can be both theoreticians and practitioners interested in urban issues, especially academics and students of such majors as spatial management, spatial planning, urban planning, geography, economics and management, as well as decision-makers and employees of local and regional governments.
- We would like "Urban Studies" to be a forum for the exchange of views, experiences and research results between economists - specialists in urban economics, urban planners, urban geographers, sociologists of cities, as well as from other disciplines who are close to the problems of urban areas.
