Journal of Urban Management

More than half of the world’s population now resides in cities. Managing human settlement development in the world has thus become one of the most challenging tasks for human beings. With Mainland China emerging as the second largest economy in the world since its economic reform, human settlements are faced with daunting challenges, including imbalance in wealth distribution and urban development. These unprecedented challenges prompt new ways of looking at and managing cities that incorporate traditional and cutting-edge approaches to urban management. Journal of Urban Management thus provides a forum for academics and practitioners to share their original, creative work as scholarly conversions that cut across traditional disciplines, such as public administration and urban planning. The objective of the Journal is to provide useful insights into how human settlements should be planned, governed, administered, and regulated, with a particular focus on Taiwan and Mainland China.

超過一半的世界人口現居住在城市，如何管理人類居住與活動區域之發展也因此成為一個當世最具挑戰性的任務之一。隨著中國自經濟改革後逐漸成為世界第二大經濟體，人類住區面臨著嚴峻的挑戰，包括財富分配不平衡和城市的發展。而這些前所未有的挑戰，帶動了結合傳統和新穎的城市管理方法之新觀點，來看待與管理城市。因此，城市管理雜誌(Journal of Urban Management )提供了一個論壇，讓學術界和業界人士分享其獨創的、具創造性的學術研究，並跨越傳統學科，如公共管理和城市規劃。該雜誌的目標是提供有用的見解，關於人類居住的城市區域應該如何進行規劃、治理、管理、和規範等，並特別聚焦於台灣及中國大陸。
