Submitted by cmjones on February 27, 2007 - 1:02pm.
Name of Person: 
Tim Duane
Picture:

Department: 
City and Regional Planning, Associate Professor
Research Interests: 
Land use and natural resources law, landscape-scale conservation strategies and the relationship between public land and resource management efforts and private land conservation in western North America, growth management and rural land use planning, methods for incorporating environmental factors into infrastructure systems planning, and improving the economic efficiency of environmental law and regulation.
Achievements: 
Duane teaches environmental planning and policy, infrastructure planning, environmental impacts of energy systems, land use planning, environmentally sustainable community development, and the impacts of urban development on fragile natural systems. He is particularly interested in how institutional structures can be modified to address competing social values. He is therefore studying law and legal institutions in greater detail, since they dominate decision-making in the modern administrative state. His primary institutional focus is domestic, but has also worked in or traveled in over thirty countries and has supervised graduate students in over a dozen other countries. He has published on a wide variety of topics from electricity regulation in California to community participation in ecosystems management.
