Publications
Urban Mayors Press
The New Jersey Urban Mayors Association (NJUMA) regularly compiles comprehensive documentation on public policy development and the revitalization of New Jersey's urban centers. We invite you to explore the following publications, which serve as the foundation for much of NJUMA’s recent policy discussions and legislative proposals.
The Urban Mayors Press is managed and edited by the John S. Watson Institute for Urban Policy and Research.
Submissions for the Fall Edition are due by Monday, September 15. The edition will be published in October. Have questions or need more information? Feel free to reach out to email watson@kean.edu.
