planning and regulation, among other topics. His works include Wet Growth: Should Water Law

Justice and Planning (American Planning Association 2007), and "The Structure of the Land Use
Regulatory System in the United States," which was published in 2007 in the Journal of Land Use
and Environmental Law. Much of his research and teaching focuses on collaborative problemsolving
and deliberative and participatory processes, informed by interdisciplinary insights and
case studies.
