Dan MilzDan Milz is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Urban and Regional Planning and the Matsunaga Institute for Peace and Conflict Resolution. Dr. Milz studies the science and politics of environmental planning by analyzing how people think about ecological systems as they make plans and propose new policies.He investigates the cognitive aspects of practical environmental judgments in participatory settings to observe how stakeholders learn to make better plans. Dr. Milz researches the role that data visualization tools play in supporting planning processes, and he explores how professional facilitators help local stakeholders improve planning and policy outcomes.
