Grad school papers

These are various papers I wrote and other materials I prepared throughout graduate school.

• Analysis of the UMass Amherst Powwow
  Implan analysis of the economic impact of a (fake) performing arts event at UMass Amherst. Modeling of a series of spending events, and subsequent analysis, was done in Python with Jupyter notebooks. A custom Python package was used to bridge Excel tables into publication-quality tables formatted for the incredible nicematrix LaTeX package.

  A zoning law analysis of Hadley, Massachusetts' zoning.
• Organizing planning for sustainability in Portland, OR
  Review paper of planning structures in Portland.

  Case study of the history and execution of a bicycle bridge project in Eastern Massachusetts.
• Green Infrastructure on North Pleasant
  Group project to present opportunities for safety improvements along a central UMass street; maps and design are my original work.
• A presentation on Tactical Urbanism - the serious stuff starts on slide #13.
  A review of different methods for fast-deploy streetscape and safety improvements. Microsoft Beans come from an archive of clip art from Archive.org.
• Visualizing pedestrian walksheds and neighborhood service areas
  Paper presented at AAG 2023 for their Graduate Student Honors poster presentation.
• Growth Machines on Main Street
  Analyzing Nimby "bikelash" in Northampton, MA through a political economy lens.
• A statistics lab that I still refer to when I forget how to use R.
