The Carolina Planning Journal and our blog, ∆NGLES, are housed in the Department of City and Regional Planning at UNC-Chapel Hill. We are the oldest student-run planning journal in the nation, founded in 1974.

Mission: The Carolina Planning Journal provides a high-quality forum for planners, academics, and students to discuss challenges and strategies for planning in North Carolina, the South, and beyond.

Vision: The Carolina Planning Journal aims to generate cutting-edge content, inspire practitioners through examples from other places, help students learn from real-world insights, and bring timely research from the university to the planning community.

In June 2025, we released Volume 50 – DESIGN IN PLANNING AND THE ENVIRONMENT. See the Subscriptions page to order a copy, or view it online.
