The Journal of Planning Literature (JPL) was founded at The Ohio State University in 1985. The journal is published as a partnership between the City and Regional Planning Section in Ohio State’s Knowlton School and Sage Publications.

JPL publishes review articles and abstracts of recent literature in city and regional planning and design. A typical issue contains one to three refereed literature reviews; a Council of Planning Librarians (CPL) Bibliography; several hundred abstracts of recent journal articles and dissertations; and several hundred bibliographic listings. JPL aims to give the reader an understanding of the state of knowledge of the field for use in research or professional practice.

The current editorial team includes Editor-in-Chief Professor Rachel Garshick Kleit and Associate Editors Dr. Maria Manta Conroy and Dr. Tijs van Maasakkers. Basar Ozbilen serves as JPL’s Managing Editor. Previous JPL editors have included JPL’s founding editor Professor Ken Pearlman, as well as Professors Jack Nasar and Gulsah Akar.
