I study how local governments shape planning outcomes in the context of political conflict and multi-level governance systems. I engage this subject from the perspectives of transportation projects, land-use policy, and affordable housing development in the United States and Europe.

My published peer-reviewed articles, book chapters, and reports are listed below. My work at Urban Institute can be found on my page there. My Google Scholar profile and my ORCID also provides information about my work.
