Coverage of my research in news outlets, university media, and journal features. Each entry links to the original story and to the study it covers.
Why the Number of Local Governments Shapes the Parks We Build
Urban Affairs Review feature on our study of municipal fragmentation and metropolitan open space. More local governments means more small neighborhood parks within a 10-minute walk of where people live — and fewer of the large, regionally significant ones that no single jurisdiction has an incentive to protect.
城乡融合研究（URI）——多中心城市发展能否同时实现经济增长和区域公平？德国地区的多尺度分析
A Chinese-language feature in the Urban-Rural Integration Research series on our Environment and Planning A study of German city regions. Polycentric development narrows regional disparities but does not raise overall productivity: gains in the peripheries are offset by losses in the urban cores.
Multiple city hubs, dispersed parks keep metro areas cooler
Cornell Chronicle feature on our study of 50 German metropolitan regions: city regions with several centers and scattered green space run cooler than single-hub ones, and many small parks do more to cool a region than one large park — “multiple smaller green spaces are able to more effectively reduce and break up contiguous urban areas.”
