As part of the launch of the Journal of Transport and Land Use, we   
would like to present a series of review papers detailing the state
of play in the field of Transport and Land Use. Strategically  
speaking, we have found that quality review pieces which are then  
cited widely dramatically help increase the visibility of the journal  
(and the author!). At the meeting of the Editorial Advisory Board at  
WCTR in June, a number of potential review paper topics were raised:

- audits to measure the built environment
- perceptions of Tr/LU environment
- measuring access
- active travel and the built environment: do we know anything new?
- review of Integrated Tr/LU models/microsimulation
- what do we know about the co-evolution of  Tr/LU
- Tr/LU education
- strategies for addressing residential self-selection
- land use and energy (as it relates to mobile sources or transport  
dimensions)
- Tr/LU/project management
- political institutional issues
- customer experience of public transport
- land value uplift
- congestion pricing on LU
- telecommunications LU
- LU/TR/modeling Firmography

Through previous conversations, we have loose commitments from the  
following individuals
* Dan Graham - Agglomeration Economies
* Kostas Goulias (with others) - Information and Communication  
Technology and Transportation
* Bob Noland - Transport, Land Use, and Safety


At this point we would like to solicit from the Editorial Board (and  
others) review papers on those topics or others you think are of  
interest. Before we  start targeting individuals who may be prime  
suspects, we wanted to seek volunteers for any of the topics. If you  
are writing, or are
willing to write and submit to JTLU a paper on one of the above  
topics, or have something else in mind, please let us know ASAP.

If you think someone not on the Editorial Board would like to  
contribute a review paper, please invite them, or pass their name and
topic to us so we can do so. And, as always, we are accepting  
nominations for how/where you think others could contribute.

We also have several theme issues/special issues in various stages on:
*  Transportation and Land Use in China (Betty Deakin and Chris Zegras),
* Transport and Land Use of Mobility Impaired (Jan-Dirk Schmoecker)
* Accessibility (David Levinson and Kevin Krizek)
* Commuting and Networks (Piet Rietveld and Aura Reggiani)

If you would like to organize a special issue, please talk to the  
editors.

Thanks again for your efforts.
