The Journal of Place Management and Development is the official academic journal of the Institute of Place Management. Since its launch in 2008, it has provided a vital link between theory and practice, helping place managers around the world navigate challenges ranging from economic uncertainty to demographic change and technological innovation.

JPMD is unique in bringing together high-quality research from across disciplines – management, real estate, marketing, tourism, retail, geography, public administration, sociology, planning, and design – to advance our collective understanding of how places can be better managed, developed, and marketed.

The Journal of Place Management and Development is more than a research publication – it’s a valuable CPD resource. By reading the journal, members can stay informed about cutting-edge research, reflect on practice, broaden their knowledge across disciplines, and strengthen their evidence-based approach to place management.  As an IPM member, you can access this important resource as part of your membership fee to stay informed, inspired, and equipped with the latest research and insights that matter for your work.
