Environment and Planning B: Urban Analytics and City Science (EPB:UACS)

Environment and Planning B: Urban Analytics and City Science is a premier international academic journal published by SAGE Publications, dedicated to advancing research at the frontier of urban analytics, spatial computation, and city science. First issued under this title in 2017, it appears nine times a year and serves as a leading platform for methodological innovation and empirical research that applies analytical and computational techniques to the study of cities and regions. The journal’s scope emphasizes quantitative methods and computational modeling — from geocomputation, spatial statistics, and GIS to agent-based modeling, big data analysis, visualization, and optimization — that provide novel insights into urban form, structure, and processes. Its articles explore how urban systems emerge, adapt, and interact with societal and environmental forces, addressing topics such as smart cities, urban simulation, spatial behavior, inequalities, sustainability, and complexity theory. By integrating cutting-edge methods with substantive questions in urban studies, planning, and geography, the journal bridges theoretical innovation and practical application. Contributions frequently demonstrate how formal models and analytical tools can improve understanding of urban dynamics, inform planning practices, and influence policies that affect city livability and resilience. With a global editorial board and international authorship, Environment and Planning B is recognized for shaping the field of computational urban analysis and for pushing forward analytical approaches that respond to contemporary challenges facing urban and regional environments.
