One objective common in much of my work is an aim to inform planning and policymaking regarding the dynamics of housing and real estate markets, particularly as they affect vulnerable communities or urban form more broadly. Another objective is to broaden the debates around a variety of topics that have not generally been considered central to planning and urban policy and yet are critical to the fate of local communities and urban neighborhoods. An example is my recent work on mortgage markets and foreclosures. My work generally involves a mix of place-based and household-based concerns – and the tension or interactions between these two perspectives.

In recent years, a good deal of my work – though not all of it – has focused on mortgage markets, including problems associated with high-risk lending, foreclosure and associated neighborhood and social impacts. I also continue to maintain interests and scholarly activity in issues of fair housing and segregation, diversity and gentrification, and community development and affordable housing practice.
