Urban Political Ecology is an interdisciplinary journal that publishes state-of-the-art scholarship primarily rooted in the field of urban political ecology (UPE), along with related disciplines. The journal focuses on broad themes relating to urbanisation, including the role of politics in urban development, the mutual entanglement of structural inequalities in determining policies of urbanisation and the relationship with the natural environment, among others. Urban Political Ecology will publish three issues per volume – in April, August and December – including special issues on topical themes and novel areas of research.
The journal was inspired by Turning up the Heat, the 2023 Manchester University Press book that engages with cutting edge approaches for contemporary UPE. Turning up the Heat is a comprehensive collection of UPE scholarship that spans the globe and provides the foundations for Urban Political Ecology.
