Editorial objective

Journal of Place Management and Development, launched in 2008 is published in partnership with the Institute of Place Management, the international professional body that supports people committed to developing, managing and making places better.

Increasingly, place management is being recognised as a solution to improving specific locations.  Place management is a coordinated, area-based, multi-stakeholder approach, harnessing the skills, experience and resources of those in the public, private and voluntary sectors.  At present, those that want to improve the understanding or practice of place management have to draw from a variety of sources including general business and management, property and real estate management, marketing, tourism and leisure, retailing, geography, public administration, sociology, planning and design. The Journal of Place Management and Development aims to provide a central repository for research into this expanding topic, pulling together theory and practice in the field.
