Public Works Management and Policy

Aims & Scope

PUBLIC WORKS MANAGEMENT & POLICY: RESEARCH AND PRACTICE IN TRANSPORTATION, INFRASTRUCTURE, AND THE ENVIRONMENT is a peer-reviewed journal for academics and practitioners in public works and the public and private infrastructure industries.

This journal addresses the planning, financing, development, and operations of civil infrastructure systems at all levels of society— from federal policy to the demand for, and delivery of, state and local public works services.

PWMP solicits manuscripts that convey research results, evaluate management innovations, suggest methods of analysis and evaluation, and examine policy issues.

PWMP is committed to improving the dialogue between academic and practitioner and to shaping the agenda for discussion and resolution of the broad and diverse issues facing the infrastructure profession.
