Journal of Property, Planning and Environmental Law (JPPEL) is a CIB-encouraged journal that provides a vehicle for the publication of high quality legal scholarship in the related areas of property, planning, and environmental law
Aims and scope
The Journal of Property, Planning and Environmental Law (JPPEL) publishes original legal research contributions for the benefit of scholars, policymakers and practitioners in these areas, including those operating in the fields of legal practice, real estate, place management, housing, environmental regulation and land use planning. It is an established, well-regarded journal; international in scope and with a commitment to comparative legal studies, the journal publishes scholarly legal articles dealing with the application of law in these areas as well as theoretical and policy-orientated research.

We are happy to accept articles taking a doctrinal approach as well as those engaging with empirical and socio-legal research.

JPPEL brings together scholarship from the inter-related areas of property, planning and environmental law, as well as a diversity of methodological approaches. The journal seeks to encourage new, interdisciplinary ways of examining how law (in its widest sense) shapes how places and spaces are conceived, made, used, owned, operated, managed, transacted, changed, harmed and/or eliminated.
