We are pleased to announce that our Subscribe to Open initiative, LUP Open Planning, has now reached its target for 2023. This means that this year’s content from our planning and development journals, Town Planning Review and International Development Planning Review, is now available to read freely via Open Access!
As leading planning and development journals, Town Planning Review (TPR) and International Development Planning Review (IDPR) provide a forum for communication between researchers and students, policy analysts and practitioners. We are proud to bring the latest content to all readers and researchers in the field.
Reaching out to new readers and authors is an important part of our work as Editors and the Open Planning model can only help in that endeavour.
John Sturzaker, co-editor of Town Planning Review
Thank you!
We have reached this target with the support of the institutions that renewed their subscription to the journals and we would like to say thank you for making Open Access possible for all.
Words from the Editors
We are delighted that LUP has reached the target for Open Planning. We as Editors fully supported this new model of journal subscription and we are very pleased that Town Planning Review will be accessible to a wider audience. Reaching out to new readers and authors is an important part of our work as Editors and the Open Planning model can only help in that endeavour.
