Penn IUR’s Urban Research eJournal, published twice weekly through the Social Science Research Network (SSRN), gathers and distributes new research that addresses the governance, policy, economics, design, and social issues that surround global urbanization. The eJournal highlights the urban-focused research of scholars worldwide. Edited by Penn IUR Co-Directors Eugénie Birch and Susan Wachter and overseen by an advisory board of preeminent urban scholars, it accepts abstracts, working papers, and recently published articles.
