Very pleased to report that TPG's Journal Impact Factor has increased to 2.6 in the 2025 Clarivate Journal Citation Reports. We are a Q1 journal in Political Science, a high Q2 in Geography, and would be a Q1 journal in International Relations if ranked in that category.

Read this #openaccess TPG article by Håvard Haarstad and Mahir Yazar, 'Urban sustainability: a spatial justice critique' which reflects on the apparent growing discontent against urban sustainability policies. doi.org/10.1080/2162...
Image of the TPG journal cover and the abstract of the article: This article provides a spatial justice critique of the urban sustainability agenda. Reflecting on the apparent growing discontent against urban sustainability policies, we argue that this backlash can partly be traced to how this agenda has favoured city centres and overlooked spatial dynamics and injustices that fuel core–periphery polarisation. The urban sustainability agenda tends towards ‘urban triumphalism’, while framing suburban areas and spaces as inherently problematic. We propose to widen the geographical scope of the urban sustainability agenda, and discuss policy directions that may contribute to this, with the view to achieving greater legitimacy, more inclusivity and value pluralism.
