Two graduate students from the Urban and Regional Planning program—Katrina McCarthy and Christopher Tirri—have published a book chapter and a peer-reviewed journal article respectively. Katrina is the lead author of the chapter “Web mapping platforms for community planning and engagement: lessons learned from NJ MAP” in the 2022 book titled “Smart Cities and Smart Communities: Empowering Citizens through Intelligent Technologies,” edited by Patnaik, Sen, and Ghosh and published by Springer. Katrina collaborated with Professors John Hasse and Mahbubur Meenar on this book chapter. Here is a link to the chapter: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-981-19-1146-0_11.
