<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-GB">A forthcoming Special Issue of the Journal of Community Informatics (<a href="http://ci-journal.net">http://ci-journal.net</a>) will be devoted to ‘Urban Planning and Community Informatics.’ This Special Issue will
be guest-edited by an international team of researchers whose urban scholarship intersects with community informatics. For this Special Issue of JoCI, we are inviting the submission of original, unpublished articles. The focus will be on community informatics
practices that relate to the following types of urban research areas: urban informatics; urban planning and design; urban studies; urban geography; urban sociology; urban anthropology; and urban technologies.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-GB">The Journal of Community Informatics (JoCI) is a platform for research of interest to a global network of academics, practitioners, national and multi-lateral policy makers. Community informatics explores applications
of ICTs in economic, ecological and socio-cultural development. A community informatics focus seeks to ensure that individuals and communities can take advantage of the opportunities that ICTs can provide, while remaining in control of these technologies and
their management.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-GB">We welcome research articles with themes at the intersections of urban research and community informatics—from a diversity of themes and geographical scales. Articles may be theoretical or practical in nature, but
should conform to the scholarly standards as outlined in JoCI’s writing guidelines. Research notes or case studies from the field are also encouraged—including insights or analyses from practitioners and policy makers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-GB">This Special Issue will be guest-edited by an international team of scholars with interests in urban studies and community informatics including: Liisa Horelli (Finland), Geisa Bugs (Brazil), Jennifer Cowley (USA),
Marcus Foth (Australia), Reinout Kleinhans (The Netherlands), Joanna Saad-Sulonen (Finland/Lebanon/France), David Sadoway (Canada/India/East Asia), Carlos Nunes Silva (Portugal/Africa), and Patrick Sunter (Australia). All research articles will be double blind
peer-reviewed. Additional details can be found in the full call for papers at: <a href="http://www.urbaninformatics.net/joci/">
