The European Journal of Spatial development is a refereed journal, distributed online free of charge. The aim of those on the Editorial Board is to offer a high-quality scientific journal on spatial development i.e. spatial analyses and planning, regional development, policy making and governance. Contributions taking a comparative or European perspective are particularly welcome.

Publication policy is geared to the provision of a rapid publication channel, with new contributions being made available online as soon as they are cleared by the peer review process.
