Gregory Newmark, Ph.D.

Greg Newmark is a lecturer at the Harris School.  His research revolves around two central and related questions: What factors structure travel choices?  And, how can policymakers intervene to sustainably improve access to opportunities?  These questions merge a theoretical interest in human behavior with a practical interest in improving society.  Dr. Newmark emphasizes the sustainability constraint as resources are finite and should be allocated in ways that are both equitable and environmentally sound.  His published exploration of these themes ranges widely from streetcars in San Francisco to tailpipe emissions in Tel Aviv to parking in Prague.

Dr. Newmark is a practicing planner and has worked extensively in private, public, and non-profit settings.  He received his PhD in City and Regional Planning from the University of California, Berkeley in 2011, his MSc in City and Regional Planning from the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology in 2006, and his BA in History and International Studies from Yale University in 1997.
