Kathryn I. Frank studies rural and regional planning, examining how communities in rural areas develop, how planning ideas have evolved historically, and how planning responds to challenges like climate change and sea-level rise. Her work also touches on urban neighborhood planning and, more recently, care models for aging and dementia patients. Overall she focuses on the theory and practice of guiding land use, community development, and public policy in both rural and urban settings.
