Journal of Urban Development and Management (JUDM) (ISSN 2957-9589) is a peer-reviewed multidisciplinary open access journal covering a wide range of topics related to the current and future issues of cities and urban management. The mission of JUDM is to integrate the studies across fields in urban development and management, and provide a holistic solution to the relevant problems. We welcome original submissions in various forms, including reviews, regular research papers, and short communications as well as Special Issues on particular topics. JUDM is particularly in favor of theoretical and applied works that target urban development and management in both developed and emerging countries.
