The Journal of Place Management and Development, launching in 2008, aims to further knowledge and best practice of the management, marketing and development (ie the making) of places worldwide. Truly multi-disciplinary in scope, the journal will provide contributions from all related fields, including property and real estate management, marketing, tourism and leisure, retailing, geography, public administration, sociology, planning and design.

The journal will publish:

Peer reviewed research articles from international authors researching in multi-national contexts; and

Practically focussed case studies, considering managerial and policy recommendations and implications.

Papers that further our knowledge and understanding of any aspect of place management, marketing and development will be considered. Topics may include, but will not be limited to:

Organisational and governance structures in place management;

The marketing and branding of places;

The consumption of place;

Design and planning considerations;

Regeneration;

Place competitiveness;

Community engagement and development;

Sustainable communities;

Places as locations and destinations;

Local economic development;

Tourism;

International perspectives upon the definition and practice of place management;

Best practice in place management, marketing and development;

Town centre management;

Neighbourhood and community renewal; and
Location management (for example shopping centres, airports etc).

The Editor, Cathy Parker, now invites contributions for potential publication in the first volume of the journal. Articles should be between 3,000 and 5,000 words in length.
