'The Public Sector'- Journal: Founded in 1975 and published until recently as a print journal, ”Der öffentliche Sektor – The Public Sector” is now presented as an open-access e-journal edited by the Chair of Public Finance and Infrastructure Policy in the Department of Spatial Planning at TU Wien.
The aim of the bilingual journal (English and German) is to advance the discussion on public intervention in a socio-economic and spatial context, studying the interrelations between economic and social change, policy design and policy impact on different spatial levels. At the same time, it encourages the discussion on role models and co-operation between the public, private and non-commercial sectors. It follows a multi-disciplinary approach, addressing experts from disciplines and fields such as public economics, urban and regional planning, infrastructure policy, fiscal policy, environmental economics, land use policy and planning, planning law, real estate management and housing economics, political science, urban sociology and other related fields.
”Der öffentliche Sektor – The Public Sector” considers itself as a platform for exchange between science and practice, as well as between young academics and senior experts.
We are looking forward to interesting contributions!
Best,
Lukas Franta, Msc.
