Biography

Megan E. Heim LaFrombois, PhD, AICP, is an Associate Professor in the Master of Community Planning program in the Department of Political Science at Auburn University, US. Her research focuses on community development, urban inequalities, participatory forms of planning, public policy, and feminist and qualitative methodologies. With over eight years of professional experience in community development and planning, an important aspect of her work, both as a practitioner and academic, is community engagement in addressing urban inequalities.

Jay Mittal, PhD, MBA, is an Associate Professor in the Master of Community Planning program at Auburn University, US. With over 24 years of professional experience in private consulting, research, and academic settings, Jay teaches graduate courses in urban planning, real estate development, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). He has partnered with several local communities, public housing authorities, and economic development agencies in Alabama and Georgia, US, for collaborative community-engaged class projects. His research interests are university-community partnerships for local economic development, land value capture, land markets, real estate valuation, real estate market analysis, and plan-making in the United States and India.

“The editors have included an excellent collection of examples and case studies of university-community partnerships in the planning field from across the world. This collection provides insights for university administrators and planning program leaders alike, highlighting the important role that planning programs play in university-community partnerships.”

Jennifer S Cowley, University of Texas at Arlington, President

"The Routledge Handbook of University-Community Partnerships in Planning Education reveals the often-transformative impact of urban planning school project work on professional education and on the communities served.  Comparisons among thirty-three universities in eleven countries contain a wealth of ideas about how best to leverage the enthusiasm and freshness of students to bring the latest urban planning practices into a wide-range of communities.  This book should be required reading for new academic staff and tenure committees."
