Urban World Briefing welcomes clear, original pitches about the urban networks and shared spaces people encounter in ordinary life. A good contribution leaves readers with a useful way to understand or notice something.
What to pitch
We consider explanatory features, comparisons, concise histories, myth checks and occasion-based reading on streets, transit, water, waste and public space. Proposals should have a distinct question, a defined reader takeaway and a scope that can be handled without specialist advice or unverifiable claims.
What makes a strong proposal
Send a short outline of the subject, the central idea, the proposed form and why it suits Urban World Briefing. Tell us what material or expertise the piece would require, and flag any place-specific details. We value careful reasoning, readable prose and original angles over grand claims.
How to send it
Please send proposals through the Contact page and choose the editorial enquiry option. A proposal is not a commission; wait for a reply before sending a complete article.
Cities make more sense when you follow the connections.
Urban World Briefing looks past the surface to explain how ordinary city networks fit together, one clear idea at a time.
