2) Provide a platform to deal with urban affairs whose solutions must be looked at from an interdisciplinary perspective.

We are particularly interested in theoretical work and applications that are targeted at urban management in, but not limited to, Mainland China and Taiwan. The term urban management is defined broadly here to cover studies and research in planning, administering, regulating, and governing (PARG) urban complexity. The urban phenomena that are of interest cut across ecological, physical, economic, political, and social settings, with a belief that these settings interact with each other and should be treated as a whole. The JUM publishes two issues per year and we accept manuscripts throughout the year.
