In his recent article, Dr. Uejio examines the relationship between being lower socioeconomic status and higher risk of extreme heat illness.

In his recent article, Dr. Lee examines how three publicness dimensions (regulative, normative, and cultural publicness) affect organizations’ collaborative activities for community benefits.

In her recent article, Dr. Fang examines how development patterns evolve under development rights (TDR) plans — programs that promise to conserve land in its current use by allowing landowners to sell development rights on their parcels. Using Montgomery County (MD) as an example, she finds a clear effect of the program on encouraging agricultural land and forest preservation. However, scattered development patterns have also emerged in the TDR sending area. The TDR program showed promising effects on preserving agricultural land and forest but also insufficiency in advancing desirable development patterns and ensuring permanent conservation.
