Ph.D. Specialization in Urban and Community Development
Research and teaching in the Urban and Community Development
specialization draw on the internationally recognized expertise of the
affiliated faculty members in urban planning, land use, transportation,
housing, regional analysis, economic and community development, and
related policy topics. Students in this specialization develop a
theoretical base and acquire methodological skills appropriate to the
investigation of urban planning and policy questions. Students who have
recently pursued doctorates related to this specialization have
interned at the World Bank and the Public Policy Institute of
California and have taken jobs at major research universities, think
tanks, and private sector organizations. Students in this
specialization typically attend scholarly meetings in fields that
include urban planning, urban affairs, public policy, regional science,
and transportation.
Core faculty members in this specialization include Victoria Basolo (housing and community development, regionalism), Victoria Beard (planning in developing countries, community-based planning), Marlon Boarnet (transportation, regional science), Scott Bollens (growth policy, ethnic conflict), Joseph DiMento (land use and environmental law), Ajay Garde (urban design, sustainable growth), and Luis Suarez-Villa (technology, economic and social development). Additional faculty members with related interests include Ken Chew (social demography), Kristen Day (urban design and behavior), Martha Feldman (organizational behavior), Raul Lejano (environmental justice), Richard Matthew (security and urban planning), and Jean-Daniel Saphores (economics and infrastructure policy). Students in this area recently have won nationally competitive awards from the Urban Affairs Association, the North American Regional Science Association, and the Eno Transportation Foundation, and have received dissertation funding from the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Lincoln Land Institute of Land Policy, and the Public Policy Institute of California.
Faculty members in the Urban and Community Development specialization are engaged in research projects that examine issues of ethnic conflict in cities, housing policy, infrastructure planning, land use and transportation, regionalism, technology and economic development, urban growth policy, and the environmental ramifications of a broad range of urban and regional policies.
