Chris Zegras
Chris Zegras is Professor of Mobility and Urban Planning in the Dept. of Urban Studies and Planning at MIT, where he teaches classes on integrated land use-transportation planning, quantitative methods, and transportation finance. He is a Principal Investigator in the Future Urban Mobility research group, sponsored by the Singapore MIT Alliance for Research and Technology.
His research spans three inter-related areas critical to tackling metropolitan mobility challenges: Human Behavior: understanding the dynamic relationships between human behavior and the built, social, and natural environments; Digitalization: leveraging new technologies to deepen our understanding of relevant dynamics, Strategic Planning: devising new techniques for supporting mobility planning, aiming to understand how they can ultimately improve the design, finance, and implementation of innovative mobility policies and interventions.
