Along with our fellow planning journal International Development Planning Review (IDPR), TPR is part of a transformative agreement called the LUP Open Planning initiative, whereby, if the subscription threshold for the year is reached then that year’s journal content will flip to Open Access under a CC-BY license. Importantly, there is no article publication charge to authors for this to happen.

As well as supporting Open Access publication, subscribers to the journal also receive gated archival access going back to 1910, available for the first time.

If you would like to access the archive and support Open Access in 2024, please recommend the journal to your librarian using our email template.
