Urban Strategic Thought Journal

Utilization of environmental sciences and interaction between researchers and scientists on specific fields, are effective ways to develop science and technical knowledge. In this regard, scientific and research publications aim to spread out advanced sciences and connect environmental sciences with each other.

Urban Strategic Thoughts Journal is also trying to take a small but effective step in the field of urban planning and its sub-branches by transferring all the discoveries found from research, specialized and scientific-research reports.

Due to its particular and influential position among the scientific and specialized communities, this journal tries to convey the importance of the field of urban planning and its orientations such as urban planning and urban design especially in today's civil societies through transmitting the findings.

Unfortunately, despite its wide and influential dimensions in everyday life, urban planning has always been influenced and interfered with ideas that ultimately did not bring a suitable output and has always been criticized by the majority of people. Among them, we can mention the new cities, which seem to have many problems.

Our focus on this journal is to deal with theoretical foundations and the origins of the city, urbanization and urban development using new experiences and ideas around the world. We hope that by publishing valuable researcher’s articles in urban planning field, we can compensate for this lack of knowledge and expertise and be a guide for future generations.
