Environment and Planning A (EPA)

Environment and Planning A: Economy and Space is a premier interdisciplinary academic journal first issued in 1969 and now published eight times annually by SAGE Publications. It provides a leading forum for rigorous research that bridges urban and regional studies, economic geography, social theory, planning, and environmental analysis. With a pluralist and heterodox approach, the journal foregrounds research that engages critically with pressing questions about urban restructuring, globalization, spatial inequalities, and socio-economic change. Its content spans empirical articles, theoretical essays, substantive reviews, and methodological advances that collectively deepen understanding of how economic systems and spatial arrangements shape human life and environments. The journal’s scope includes topics such as urban policy, regional development, labor and housing markets, mobility and migration, resource distribution, infrastructures, and the socio-political dimensions of economic transformation. Contributors are drawn from geography, sociology, planning, development studies, economics, and allied fields, reflecting Environment and Planning A’s interdisciplinary mission. The journal is widely indexed and influential in planning, geography, and environmental social sciences, offering insights that inform both academic scholarship and policy debates about equitable and sustainable urban and regional futures.
