Past Projects : 2004 - 2007 : Journal of Urban Design
Call for Papers: Walking and Urban Design
Urban designers have a long tradition of examining the pedestrian environment. With recent attention to active transportation, health issues in urban planning and design, new urbanism, transit-oriented development, and traffic calming, there has been a growing body of empirical studies and policy interventions focused on this topic.
An upcoming issue of the Journal of Urban Design is looking for submissions of original work on the issue of pedestrians, walking, and urban design. Both empirical investigations and significant contributions to theory are welcomed. This issue will also welcome Practice Notes of up to 3000 words. The issue will publish up to five papers and two practice notes on this topic.
As stated in the instructions to authors, three complete copies of each manuscript should be submitted to the journal's main office at: Journal of Urban Design, Institute of Urban Planning, University of Nottingham, University Park, Nottingham NG7 2RD, UK. Please also send the manuscript as an email attachment to the theme editors (see below).
Papers should be typed on one side of the paper, double spaced, with ample margins and bear the title of the contribution and name(s) of the author(s). The full postal address of the author who will check proofs and receive correspondence and offprints should also be included. All pages should be numbered. Contributions should not normally be more than 9000 words in length and should be written in the English language. They should also include an abstract of 100 words. Footnotes to the text should be avoided wherever this is reasonably possible. For more information, visit the journal's web site:
