Housing Policy Debate (HPD) provides a venue for original housing and urban affairs research on a broad range of domestic and international topics. Subjects include the analysis of real estate and market trends, land use regulations, and metropolitan development patterns.

 

HPD is published quarterly. Each issue contains 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. On a recurring basis, HPD 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.
