PhD Urban Planning, McGill (2013)
Research interests
Urban regions are faced with a multitude of challenges, how decision-makers balance, prioritize and trade-off various—often-conflicting—environmental, economic, and social equity goals is a central concern of my research. I predominately examine this through transport systems and how various personal, institutional, and government decision-making processes affect growth and development of urban areas.
Current projects
- Understanding how the transportation needs of disadvantaged populations and issues of social equity can be integrated into land use and transportation policies.
- Understanding how people and households of different socio-economic status respond to measures of local and regional accessibility.
- Understanding behavior change in the context of sustainable transportation and its effects on health and well-being.
