Professor Hollander is interested in the role of planning and public policy in managing land use and environmental changes associated with economic decline and shrinking cities. He also studies the intersection between technology and planning using virtual, Internet-based communities as laboratories. He has worked in the areas of brownfields redevelopment, sustainability indicators, eco-industrial development, military base reuse, and smart decline. Professor Hollander has written extensively on these topics including peer-reviewed scholarly articles and his debut book "Polluted, and Dangerous: America's Worst Abandoned Properties and What Can Be Done About Them" published in January 2009 by the University of Vermont Press (Click here to read about the book; Click here to watch Professor Hollander discussing the book on C-SPAN.)
