ABOUT CPJ
Critical Planning Journal is a peer-reviewed, graduate student-run journal housed in the UCLA Urban Planning Department. CPJ began in 1993 as a forum for the urban studies and planning communities to debate current issues, showcase emerging research, and propose new ideas concerning cities and regions. The journal attracts submissions from scholars, graduate students, and practitioners from across disciplinary boundaries and from around the world. The core mission of Critical Planning Journal is to promote criticality and social justice.
Past volumes can be viewed on CPJ's eScholarship page.
Mission
The core mission of Critical Planning Journal is to promote criticality and social justice. We are committed to doing this through:
· Advancing imaginative, nontraditional analyses and interpretations of contemporary issues.
· Encouraging scholars and practitioners to remain self-reflexive and critical of the status quo
· Seeking out works that elevate the voices of the underrepresented and explore new methods of empowering communities
· Connecting different groups and individuals to the larger global movement for social justice.
In pursuit of these ends, Critical Planning Journal also seeks out new forms of knowledge and modes of representation. The journal is thus not only a space for planning scholars and practitioners, but also activists, artists, organizers and others who take “the city,” however defined, as their object of inquiry.
