Maria Manta Conroy's research focuses on urban and regional planning, particularly how planning processes, policies, and land use decisions affect community sustainability, environmental quality, and social equity. Her work spans topics like vacant land reuse, natural gas pipeline governance, water quality planning, and the historical legacies of discriminatory housing policies (redlining) on neighborhood health outcomes. She also studies how sustainability concepts are taught and organized in higher education curricula.
Publication activity has been modest and uneven over the last decade, with occasional gaps followed by small clusters of output, averaging about 1.4 publications per year over the last five years.
