The Berkeley Planning Journal (BPJ) is a peer-reviewed scholarly publication, which has been produced by UC Berkeley’s City & Regional Planning PhD cohort since 1984. We publish annually, and offer a collection of innovative and research-oriented articles on contemporary topics in planning and urbanism. Authors include students, faculty, and others in the Berkeley planning community, as well as scholars and practitioners from other institutions. BPJ's publication metrics are available from Scopus.
The Urban Fringe was a blog affiliated with BPJ that focused on planning practice, intended as a space of exchange and dialogue between emerging planning scholars and the planning community. Its contents are still available on this site.
