I am an environmental economist who focuses on urban sustainability issues. I blog
on these issues at: greeneconomics.blogspot.com. 

In September 2006, the Brookings Institution Press published my book titled Green Cities:
Urban Growth and the Environment. See www.brookings.edu/press/books/greencities.htm. 

In early 2007, Dora Costa and I will finish a new book on social capital during war time.
