The International Journal of Urban Labour and Leisure, focuses on on-going
and emerging debates across a wide range of social science disciplines. It
is also a forum for contributors to consider the issues of the contemporary
employment experience. The focus is on practitioner, academic and research
based material stressing the dissemination aspects of publication.

Many local urban economies are undergoing radical transformations changing
the face and content of urban living. Urban areas are emerging from their
industrial pasts to face post-industrial challenges. The aim of this
interdisciplinary journal is to explore these challenges by investigating
the relationship between paid work and leisure. Increasingly cities and
towns are consumed as spaces of leisure and pleasure rather than identified
with industrial production. In turn, patterns of paid work and occupations
are now often entwined with these leisure activities. It is these changes
this journal investigates through a) regular articles, b) special calls for
papers, and c) review essays.

The International Journal of Urban Labour and Leisure provides this
interdisciplinary outlet for all research relating to the contemporary work
and leisure practices of individuals today. Work and leisure are an
important aspect of contemporary society and need to be seen together. The
International Journal of Urban Labour and Leisure showcases how employment
at the turn of the century is even more integrated into people leisure lives
as traditional industries are disappearing.

Featured articles are available in HTML format.
