Back Issues

Collage of Carolina Planning Journal Covers

Carolina Planning bridges planning practice and education through the careful editorial oversight of graduate planning students. The Journal’s contribution to the planning field cannot be overstated. In its over thirty-five years of publication, Carolina Planning (ISSN: 0164-0070) has published more than 500 original articles, interviews, book reviews, and commentary pieces by academics, practitioners, and planning students. This body of work encompasses diverse areas and is presented through a rich variety of viewpoints and professional experience from writers during some of the most formative years of the planning profession.

The Carolina Digital Repository maintains a complete electronic collection of Carolina Planning, although the current issue is held back each year. The Library of Congress, UNC Libraries, and The North Carolina Collection each maintain a complete print set in their serials collections. Print copies of back issues are available for the public to purchase as indicated in the table below:
