Bio/Research
John Arroyo is an academic expert in urban planning and design, land use, community development, Latino/a/x migration, local immigration policy, race and ethnicity in cities, suburbs, urban inequality and neighborhood change, creative placemaking, arts and culture, and environmental justice. At the University of Oregon, he is an Assistant Professor in Engaging Diverse Communities in the School of Planning, Public Policy and Management. Broadly, his research focuses on inclusive urbanism and the relationship between the built environment, migration, culture, and urban policy in immigrant communities. Specifically, his research examines the spatial effects, policy implications, and institutional infrastructure of exponential Latinx migration in high-growth suburban U.S. “new immigrant destinations.”
His current book project analyzes how Mexican immigrants and Mexican-Americans reshape housing, ethnic retail centers, and transportation networks, and how local and regional-level planning institutions in small suburban municipalities adjust their spatial policies to react to ethnic demographic change in greater Atlanta. Other streams of research include the relationship between arts, culture, and immigration, environmental justice issues (green gentrification), and the social and cultural aspects of housing. His research has been supported by the National Research Council/Ford Foundation, National Endowment for the Humanities, Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute, American Association of Hispanics in Higher Education, American Collegiate Schools of Planning, American Planning Association, ArtPlace America, and the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Prior to the University of Oregon, Arroyo was an Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Fellow in Latino Studies at the School for Advanced Research in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
An urban planner and design policy expert by training, he has 20 years of experience working in public sector and not-for-profit contexts, both domestically and internationally.
