At GlobalDev we believe that good research makes a difference to development. Solid research does more than advance academic debates. It points to new ideas, different perspectives, alternative options and solutions for the world's most pressing issues. We aim to better connect those who plan and act out in the world with those who study it. We are looking for academic authors who want to show how their knowledge and their work speaks to the concerns and objectives of decision makers, development institutions, and people. We want to hear what difference your research makes for development action.

We are a moderated multi-disciplinary forum for discussion and dissemination of scholarship on urban history and urban studies.
