Penn IUR launches the Urban Research eJournal

The Penn Institute for Urban Research is excited to announce the launch of the Urban Research eJournal published through the Social Science Research Network (https://mail.exchange.upenn.edu/owa/redir.aspx?C=f8a49c5da713459d872d51…). We invite you to subscribe to this free weekly eJournal. The primary goal of the Urban Research eJournal is to gather and distribute new research that addresses the governance, policy, economics, design and social issues that surround global urbanization. Our first issue is scheduled for release on Wednesday, Oct. 10, 2012!

The Urban Research eJournal will include our Penn IUR White Papers on Urban Sustainability, the refereed series that we inaugurated last year. We welcome submissions to the series. We are especially interested in submissions from emerging (doctoral and post-doctoral) scholars and works in progress from all of our Penn IUR Fellows and Scholars.
