About us
The Urban Affairs Review is a space for leading thinkers about urban issues to share their research, ideas, and experiences. Visit us for insights on local and regional politics, urban governance, and public policy that are based in the research findings of our diverse community of scholars and practitioners.
We are interested in digital contributions about urban, local, and regional topics. If you would like to contribute, please email Emily Holloway, Associate Managing Editor.
The Urban Affairs Forum is published by the editors of Urban Affairs Review and is sponsored by the Lindy Institute for Urban Innovation at Drexel University.
APSA Urban & Local Politics Section
Urban Affairs Review is affiliated with the Urban & Local Politics Section of the American Political Science Association (APSA).
Best Paper Award
Urban Affairs Review sponsors a $250 award for the Best Paper in Urban or Regional Politics presented at the annual APSA conference. We encourage chairs of all Urban and Local Politics Section panels to nominate papers. We also welcome self-nominations. Papers presented on any panel associated with the conference are eligible for this award.
This is an annual award. Awards may not be made every year, depending on the number and quality of submissions.
