A bi-annual, interdisciplinary journal, Environment and Urbanization ASIA aims at two purposes: (i) to engage civil society, non-governmental organizations, researchers, academics, and policy-makers in thinking and writing about Asia’s urban and environmental issues, and (ii) to improve and strengthen the knowledge base on the different facets of environment and urbanization, with cases and ground
level realities. The journal focuses on Asia but encourages articles on inter-regional comparison of experiences. Environment and Urbanization ASIA is prepared by the National Institute of Urban Affairs (NIUA) and published by SAGE Publications, India, in New Delhi. The Department for International Development (DFID), United Kingdom, provides financial support for the preparation of the journal and covers a part of the cost of its publication. It is a sister journal to Environment and Urbanization prepared by the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) and published by SAGE Ltd. Editorial Board
