Editorial policy

Urban Future Guide aims for clear, careful writing about cities. We distinguish what can be observed from what is inferred, give context for claims, and revise a piece when a meaningful error comes to light.

Accuracy and context

We check factual statements against suitable sources when sources are used and take care not to make a single place or example stand for all urban experience. Where interpretations differ, we describe the distinction rather than presenting opinion as settled fact.

Independence and labels

Editorial decisions remain separate from commercial arrangements. Any sponsored or partner material is clearly labelled so readers can distinguish it from independent editorial work. A partnership does not guarantee favourable coverage.

Corrections

Readers can use the Contact page to flag a possible error. We review specific, relevant correction requests and update material when warranted; significant changes are identified in the article so readers can understand what changed.

Images and illustration

Images are chosen to support the subject and are not presented as documentary evidence unless that is clear from their context. Some illustrations are AI-generated; where used, they are identified as illustrations rather than photographs of actual places or events.
