The primary audience of the Urban Affairs Review comprises urban scholars and interested practitioners spanning several disciplines; these disciplines include, but are not limited to, the fields of sociology, political science, geography, planning, economics, criminology, history, anthropology, and urban affairs. For our purposes, articles are not considered "urban" if cities are treated as only one component of a broader analysis or if urban data are used in the service of theories that do not treat urban phenomena as a central concern. Purely theoretical or retrospective articles are welcome but must engage an intellectual question that appeals to a broad scholarly audience. We are especially interested in introducing to our readership innovative research methodologies used to analyze significant theoretical issues. The editors reserve the right to publish articles of briefer length or limited theoretical import as research notes; authors are invited to submit such notes.
