In this era of mega-cities, urban decay, and suburban sprawl - along with global climate crisis and energy insecurity - the issue of how we create more sustainable places is the fundamental challenge facing transportation professionals. 

In my research I aim to continue to advance our understanding of sustainable places in order to equip students from across the globe with the wherewithal to plan, design and build better, more attractive, more efficient, more livable and yes, more lovable places.
