Call for papers: Special Issue in Transportation Research, Part A on transport and gender

Published at: 16 April 2019

Special Issue: Transportation Research: Part A (TR-A)

Transport, Gender, Culture

Research on gender issues in urban transportation planning is paramount because more than half of the world’s population now lives in cities, women make up half of the general population, and gender crosscuts all other 'vulnerable group' considerations. Issues of transport equity, inclusion, and justice are proving increasingly important to improve the sustainability and resilience of cities. In order to develop a panoramic view of gender issues in urban transport, we seek contributions that:

Examine women’s needs in transportation in different cultural contexts.
Reveal the extent to which gender considerations are being incorporated into urban policy and practice by local authorities.
Analyse the factors that support or hinder gender mainstreaming.

Contributions from the Global South are particularly welcome.

Submission of full paper due: July 31, 2019

RSPP Call for Paper | Special Issue on Regional Development in China

RSPP Call for Paper

Regional Development in China

China has been experiencing a remarkable economic growth for three decades. Nevertheless, protectionism against Chinese exports, uneven regional development, income inequalities, greater migration pressures and doubts on the effectiveness of regional policies highlights knowledge gaps that require further scientific insights.

For this special issue on regional development in China we are particular interested in ex-post evaluation of past policies and ex-ante assessment of external shocks with sound replicable methods. The main aim is to join new thinking on regional development and regional policy looking at the Chinese reality, eventually departing from scientific mismatches that informed regional development policies with different levels of effectiveness.

Papers should be submitted to the regular review process of the journal (https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/rspp) until July 19^th of 2019. With a regular review process it is expected that the papers will be publish on the 2^nd Issue of 2019.
