SAGE and Planning Theory are committed to making the latest research available to institutions in developing countries for free or at a greatly reduced price. We participate in several major global initiatives to ensure that students, researchers and policy makers in the poorest nations have access to the latest leading peer-reviewed research in science, medicine and the social sciences. “Planning Theory provides an invaluable outlet for the increasing number of scholars in planning who are interested in theoretical issues, whether they be debates around sustainability, or justice, or difference, or ethics, or power and knowledge. Most of the major names in the field (Patsy Healey, James Throgmorton, John Forester, Heather Campbell, Stanley Stein and Thomas Harper for example) have been publishing in this journal in recent years, indicating its respectability and status”. Leonie Sandercock, Professor and Director, SCARP, University of British Columbia”Since its launch in 2002, Planning Theory has attracted a set of highly regarded editors and an eminent editorial board representing ‘the fine fleur’ of planning theory. The editors and editorial board guarantee a continuous high quality of articles. Leading theorists choose Planning Theory for their best theoretical papers.” Louis Albrechts, Professor of Planning, University of Leuven”Planning Theory provides a unique and much-needed forum for interchange of concepts and theories of planning.
