Faculty Biography
My research interests range from planning theory to expert systems. I have written on pragmatism and planning theory, planning ethics, mixed-use land use, state growth management and the new urbanism, and the importance of neighborhood commercial activities for sustainable communities. I recently served as a founding member of the Strategy/Action Council of West Siders Together, a member of the Board of Advisors of Cuban National Heritage, and a member of the Technical Advisory Committee for New Jersey Transit’s MLK light rail station planning in Jersey City. Outside academia, I have worked as a planning consultant to the cities of San Francisco, Oakland, and New York. I have evaluated land reform efforts in China, led workshops on growth management for Puerto Rico, and been Manager of Policy and Research for New Jersey Office of State Planning where I was principal author of early versions of New Jersey’s first statewide growth management plan.
