Revista Políticas Públicas & Cidades

About the Journal

The RPPC journal or Revista de Políticas Públicas & Cidades, had its roots as a blog for discussing academic subjects in urbanism and urban planning, founded by postgraduate students from the Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Paraná (PUCPR) in 2014. Over time, it evolved into a non-institutional scientific journal, independent of any specific academic association. With ISSN 2359-1552, the journal is published semiannually and follows a rigorous editorial process, including blind peer review, to ensure the quality and relevance of contributions. Its scope encompasses a wide range of related areas, from architecture and urbanism to economics, sociology, geography, and public health, as long as the works are linked to public policies. Committed to ethical research and transparent editorial practices, the journal adopts an open access policy, aiming to democratize scientific knowledge. Authors are encouraged to contribute theoretical and empirical works that address contemporary issues in urban public policies and offer original and relevant insights for the field.
