e.polis is the electronic journal published by the Urban Studies Programs at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

e.polis reflects the mission and methodologies of the Urban Studies Programs by using an interdisciplinary lens to examine the growth and development of urban communities and social institutions in order to better understand urban processes and develop policies for the resolution of contemporary social problems. The editorial staff of e.polis is comprised of graduate students in the Urban Studies Programs and is perhaps the only student published electronic journal in the country dedicated to urban studies and concerns.

The e.polis: Online Student Journal of Urban Studies has been redesigned.
