  • Urban technology
  • Sustainability and resilience
  • Land use and environmental planning
  • Transportation planning
  • Social justice and urban development
  • Community development
  • Global planning
  • Planning design
  • Detroit and communities of southeast Michigan
  • Historical perspectives of urban planning
