The STRATI Journal of Regional and Urban Economics is a peer-reviewed, open-access international journal dedicated to advancing knowledge on the spatial dimensions of economic activity and the dynamics of urban and regional development. The journal publishes high-quality theoretical, empirical, and policy-oriented research examining the economic forces shaping cities, regions, and metropolitan areas, as well as the interconnections between them.
It seeks to foster deeper understanding of the economic, social, environmental, and institutional factors influencing regional growth, urbanization, spatial inequality, housing markets, transport systems, labor mobility, and local governance. Contributions that integrate economics with geography, planning, political science, environmental studies, and data science are strongly encouraged.
The journal provides a global platform for academics, researchers, policymakers, urban planners, and development practitioners interested in evidence-based strategies for promoting balanced regional development and sustainable, inclusive urban growth. Manuscripts should be 6,000–8,000 words with an abstract not exceeding 200 words. Submissions undergo a rigorous double-blind peer review process, and authors must submit a plagiarism report with their manuscript. The journal maintains a target review period of no more than two months to ensure timely dissemination of research findings.
