Urban Policy Research Abstracts

This collection of abstracts provides anyone interested in urban policy -- citizens, policy makers, policy analysts, journalists, students -- with quick, easy access to important research on urban policy, planning, and development issues.

To access the abstract library, select a topic in the left-hand menu, or simply scroll down the page.

To ensure that the research reported in this library is of the highest quality, we follow a few important guidelines to determine which studies will be posted in our research library:

Abstracts are either from referred professional journals, books published by mainstream press, or policy studies by research organizations with a rigorous review process.
Articles report original research relevant to market-oriented urban policy and include substantial empirical content, unless their theoretical contributions are considered seminal.
Articles, books and studies were published after 1990, though exceptions may be made for seminal or unique contributions.
