Housing Policy Debate provides a venue for original research on U.S.
housing policy. Subjects include affordable housing policy, fair housing
policy, land use regulations influencing housing affordability, metropolitan
development trends, and linkages among housing policy and energy,
environmental, and transportation policy.
Housing Policy Debate is published quarterly. Most issues contain a “Forum” section and an “Articles”
section. The Forum, which highlights a current debate, features a central
article and responding comments that represent a range of perspectives. All
articles in the Forum and Articles section undergo a double-blind peer review
process. On a recurring basis, Housing
Policy Debate also features an “Outlook” section where the
editors--occasionally with expert guest writers--comment on emerging areas of
housing and metropolitan research or current events.
Manuscripts must be original, unpublished works not under consideration for publication elsewhere. The author is responsible for obtaining any necessary rights or permissions to reproduce quoted material or illustrations published elsewhere. Accepted manuscripts must conform to the style guidelines.
The
Metropolitan Institute is pleased to celebrate
Housing Policy Debate’s twentieth anniversary. Since its initial
publication by the Fannie Mae Foundation,
Housing
Policy Debate has become the nation’s premiere source for research on U.S.
housing policy, real estate market trends, and metropolitan development
patterns.
Beginning with the twentieth
issue,
Housing Policy Debate will be
published by Routledge,
a London-based publishing house whose catalog of titles include the
Journal of the American Planning Association,
Journal of Urban Design, Housing Studies,
Urban Studies, and many other journals in the urban studies and planning
field. Routledge will provide support for a new online review system, in
addition to publishing and disseminating the journal on a subscription basis.
Virginia Tech provides editorial oversight under the direction of the journal’s
editor, Casey Dawkins, with the assistance of the journal’s managing editor,
Jessica Hanff.
The twentieth
issue (20.1) is in its final production stages and will be published in early
2010. Issues 20.2 and 20.3 will be published as a double issue in mid-2010, and
20.4 will celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the journal, featuring
articles that provide a longer view of the past and future of U.S. housing
policy.
We hope
you will join us in celebrating the rich history and promising future of
Housing Policy Debate.
