Editorial policy

Urban City Briefing aims to make city life easier to notice and discuss. We distinguish explanation from opinion, take care with claims and make our working standards visible to readers.

Accuracy and care

We check factual statements against material appropriate to the subject and make clear when a point is an interpretation rather than an established fact. We avoid presenting general observations as rules for every city or neighbourhood. We do not offer professional advice.

Independence and partnerships

Editorial choices are made for reader interest, not as a condition of a commercial relationship. Sponsored or partner material is clearly labelled so readers can distinguish it from independent editorial coverage.

Corrections

If a reader spots an error or missing context, they can contact us through the Contact page. We review correction requests and make changes when warranted, with the aim of being clear about substantive corrections.

Illustrations

Some illustrations may be generated with AI. Illustrations are not evidence of a particular place, event or person, and we aim to avoid presenting them as documentary images.
