About the Journal
International Journal of Urban Design and Development is a peer-reviewed hybrid open-access journal launched in 2015 that covers a wide range of topics including urban nature and city design, urban design methods and techniques, and various other fields that are related to urban design. The journal aims to create break free communication link between the research communities.
