The Journal of Urban Research (JUR) is a regional, open-access, peer-reviewed research journal published online by the Faculty of Urban and Regional Planning (FURP) at Cairo University. The Journal publishes papers in fields related to urban research including urban planning and design, landscape architecture, environmental planning, architecture, housing, historic preservation and conservation, urban upgrading, infrastructure planning, urban management, regional development, as well as urban policies and strategies. The first issue of JUR was published in 1999, and is currently published in volumes issued on a quarterly basis. Starting January 2023, the journal will be issued as yearly volumes with 4 quarterly issues. Over the years, the JUR became one of the most prominent scientific journals in Egypt and the MENA region and has maintained its eminent position as one of the top-rated journals in the region due to its rigorous review process and publication procedures. The journal accepts research articles in both Arabic and English languages. To date about 60% of the articles are in Arabic, which illustrates the journal’s interest in enhancing Arabic-written research publication. The Editorial Board is composed of distinguished international scholars in various disciplines of urban research. The Editorial Board has always included prominent FURP faculty members, such as the late professors Mahmoud Yousry and Taher Elsadek, pioneers of urban design and urban regional development respectively. Currently, the Editorial Board includes professors Abdelmohsen Barrada (urban planning and housing), Maher Stino and Laila Elmasry (landscape architecture). Because of the nature of the field, the potential of the journal is highly increasing regionally. Open access: The journal is an Open Access journal.
