Write for us

We welcome clear, original pitches that help readers understand how cities differ and what to consider when comparing them.

What to propose

Pitch an evergreen subject about city form, amenities, housing character, access or the process of choosing. Strong ideas have a distinct reader question, a useful explanation and a scope that does not depend on professional advice or changing local rules.

What makes a good pitch

Explain the central idea, why it helps a general reader and how your proposed piece will approach it. Tell us what makes the subject distinct from material already on the publication, and flag any claims that require careful qualification.

How to send it

Send proposals through the Contact page and choose the editorial option. Include a concise outline and relevant writing context, but do not send confidential or private information. A proposal is not a promise of publication.
