Journal Guide

Open House International (OHI) is an interdisciplinary research journal in architecture, building technology, housing, urban design and planning.

Planning Theory & Practice provides an international focus for the development of theory and practice in spatial planning and a forum to promote the policy dimensions of space and place. Published in conjunction with the Royal Town Planning Institute, London, it publishes original articles and review papers from both academics and practitioners with the aim of encouraging more effective, two-way communication between theory and practice. The Editors invite robustly researched papers which raise issues at the leading edge of planning theory and practice, and welcome papers on controversial subjects. Authors are requested to draw out the wider significance of their particular contribution and to write in a clear style, accessible to a broad, international audience. The journal’s innovative Interface section promotes dialogue between the academic and practitioner communities, encouraging analytical reflection on practice and practical engagement with theory. Each issue of Interface offers a multifaceted investigation of a topical theme, in the form of a series of contributions reflecting on one issue from different perspectives. The journal's Comments and Reviews section comprises Policy & Planning Briefs, which provide critical insights into key policy developments and analysis of spatial plans, Book Reviews and Comments on a particular issue, such as rejoinders to articles previously published. The range of Planning Theory & Practice includes: • Defining the nature of spatial planning • Developing the theoretical and methodological foundations of planning • Developing the contributions of the planning field to social science, both analytically and normatively • Exploring the relationship between theory and practice, including reviews which examine emergent practices and interpret them in the light of current debates • Examining the contribution of planning practitioners to governance and public policy focused on the tensions between social, economic and environmental concerns • Shaping practice through critical reflection and review • Experiences of particular types of practice or of the development of policy in particular fields
