Journal of Transport and Land Use is a peer-reviewed periodical addressing the interplay between transportation systems and land development. The journal publishes empirical, theoretical, and policy-oriented research connecting United States Department of Transportation practices, European Commission policy frameworks, and comparative studies involving cities such as New York City, London, Tokyo, Paris, and Singapore. It serves scholars and practitioners working with institutions like World Bank, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, United Nations Human Settlements Programme, International Transport Forum, and American Planning Association.
History
Founded in the early 21st century by scholars associated with University of Minnesota, the journal emerged amid debates following reports by Transport Research Board, Urban Institute, Congress for the New Urbanism, Institute of Transportation Engineers, and commentators in The Economist. Its inception responded to methodological shifts influenced by landmark works such as The Death and Life of Great American Cities and studies linked to Jane Jacobs-inspired urbanism, critiques from Robert Moses-era controversies, and policy agendas advanced by Calthorpe Associates and Peter Calthorpe. Early editorial efforts engaged academics from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of California, Berkeley, London School of Economics, Delft University of Technology, and Technische Universität Berlin.
Scope and Content
The journal focuses on research that integrates case studies from metropolitan regions like Los Angeles, Chicago, São Paulo, Mumbai, Beijing, Seoul, and Mexico City with modeling approaches developed at National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Brookings Institution, and RAND Corporation. Topics include transit-oriented development studies referencing projects such as Crossrail, High-Speed 2, Shinkansen, and TransMilenio, analyses of land-use regulation influenced by statutes like National Environmental Policy Act and planning models from Cambridge University Press authors, and comparative assessments invoking institutions like Metropolitan Transportation Authority (New York), Transport for London, Japan Railway Group, and RATP Group.
Publication and Access
Published as an open-access or subscription-based outlet in different periods, the journal's distribution models mirror shifts seen at publishers like Elsevier, Springer Nature, Wiley-Blackwell, Taylor & Francis, and SAGE Publications. Access provisions have been discussed alongside initiatives from Plan S, Directory of Open Access Journals, HathiTrust, and institutional repositories at Harvard University, University of Oxford, Columbia University, and University of Toronto. Production workflows referenced editorial management systems similar to those used by Editorial Manager, ScholarOne, and archiving partners such as JSTOR and Portico.
Editorial Board and Peer Review
The editorial leadership has drawn academics affiliated with University of Michigan, University College London, ETH Zurich, University of Sydney, National University of Singapore, and think tanks such as Institute for Transportation and Development Policy and Lincoln Institute of Land Policy. Peer review processes reflect standards promoted by Committee on Publication Ethics, reviewers drawn from programs at Princeton University, Yale University, Cornell University, Australian National University, and University of Hong Kong, and methods comparable to those used by journals like Transportation Research Part A, Journal of Urban Economics, and Environment and Planning A.
Abstracting and Indexing
The journal is indexed in databases modeled after inclusion criteria used by Scopus, Web of Science, EBSCOhost, ProQuest, Google Scholar, and RePEc. Its metadata practices align with standards from CrossRef, ORCID, Digital Object Identifier System, and cataloging authorities such as Library of Congress and Dewey Decimal Classification adaptations in major libraries including New York Public Library, British Library, and Bibliothèque nationale de France.
Impact and Reception
Scholarly impact metrics and reception have been compared to citation patterns observed in publications from Cambridge University Press, Oxford University Press, and journals cited in reports by United Nations Environment Programme, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and International Energy Agency. Practitioners from municipal agencies like San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, Metropolitan Council (Minnesota), City of Vancouver, and Greater London Authority have referenced its studies in planning documents and transport strategies. Critical appraisals have appeared in venues such as Nature, Science, The Guardian, and professional newsletters from American Society of Civil Engineers.
Notable Articles and Special Issues
Notable contributions include empirical analyses comparable to landmark papers found in Journal of the American Planning Association and thematic issues addressing topics related to climate change mitigation strategies evaluated in reports by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, resilient infrastructure studies paralleling work by Rockefeller Foundation, and mobility justice discussions resonant with scholars connected to NAACP equity initiatives. Special issues have focused on regions like Sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America with contributors from University of Cape Town, National University of Singapore, Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, and Federal University of Rio de Janeiro.
