Write for us

Urban City Briefing welcomes pitches that help readers see a familiar part of city life in a fresh, grounded way. We are interested in clear ideas with a defined reader and a useful point of focus.

What we welcome

Send ideas about neighbourhood gathering places, city rhythms, local services or the customs that shape belonging. We welcome explainers, thoughtful comparisons, background pieces and practical plans that remain useful beyond a single news moment.

A strong pitch

Tell us the central question, what the reader will understand or be able to consider, and why the subject suits Urban City Briefing. Keep the scope focused, avoid unsupported claims and explain any specialist terms. A pitch is more useful than a complete unsolicited article.

How to send it

Send proposals through the Contact page and choose the editorial question option. Include your name, a way to reply and a concise description of the idea. Sending a proposal does not guarantee publication; we will consider its fit and clarity.
