Synopsis
Town Planning Review
has been one of the world's leading journals of urban and regional
planning since its foundation in 1910. With an extensive international
readership,
TPR
is a well established urban and regional planning journal, providing a
principal forum for communication between researchers and students,
policy analysts and practitioners.
To mark TPR’s centenary in 2010, it is proposed to publish a
series of ‘Centenary Papers’ -- review papers that record and reflect
on the state of the art in a range of topics in the general field of
town and regional planning.
TPR
is edited from the Universities of Liverpool and Manchester and is
supported by an international Editorial Board who resource the journal
with a wealth of disciplinary and multi-disciplinary expertise.

The editors also welcome suggestions on ideas for the occasional
publication of guest edited special issues of collections of
