Graduate Student Published in Planning Magazine

Jeff Herlitz (MP degree expected in 2010) was recently published in the American Planning Association trade magazine Planning. The August/September 2008 issue focused on water in America. Jeff penned "Our Imperiled Oceans and Coasts", which detailed the problems associated with coastal water quality and some current domestic and international ideas on how best to address them. Ranging from coastal development patterns in Georgia to the effect of climate change on Venice, the article assessed current domestic policy and its implication for the health of our world’s ocean ecosystem. On a similar note, Jeff published a related article in the September 2008 issue of Urban Land. It was a short overview of the effect of ocean rise on coastal infrastructure and was titled "Infrastructure and Climate Change." Jeff expects to have two more articles published by year?s end. One focuses on industrial symbiosis and another examines the Brookings Institution policy report "MetroPolicy."
