Nowhere are the effects of technology greater than in urban environments. Yet many who are in positions requiring them to make decisions about urban technologies have inadequate knowledge to do so. The Journal of Urban Technology (JUT) is designed for a general audience whose businesses, occupations, professions, or studies require that they become aware of the effects of new technologies on urban environments. It is the Journals goal to have people better understand both cities and technologies so that they can improve the former by wisely using the latter. The Journal does not limit itself to discussions of technological developments; it also publishes discussions that examine the history as well as the ethical, social, economic, political, environmental, and aesthetic effects of those developments. The Journal of Urban Technology publishes both open issues and focus issues. While open issues present articles of a wide range of topics and concerns, JUTs focus issues offer in-depth examinations of a single topic. In the past, focus issues have dealt with Brownfields Recycling; Sustainable Port Development; Residential Technologies; and Information Technologies and Inner-City Communities. Upcoming issues of the Journal of Urban Technology will offer profiles of research centres worldwide, whose work focuses on issues of technologys effects on urban environments. The Journal of Urban Technology is currently noted in the following: African Urban & Regional Science Index; Current Contents/Social & Behavioral Sciences; Current Index to Journals in Education; Research Alert; Sage Urban Studies Abstracts; Social Scisearch; Transportation Research Information Services; Urban Affairs Abstracts. Journal of Urban Technology is also available in electronic form over the Internet using RealPage software.
