At Emerald, we are committed to helping communities make decisions that count, based on research that matters. We are looking to build on the amount of meaningful research we support and publish in the field of sustainable cities.

We would like to hear more about your current research around sustainable cities, particularly if it covers one of our priority areas.

We have a number of routes to publication: journals, books, cases and our open access programme. Get in touch with publisher Gemma Hemming to discuss your options.
