About the Author

Helmut Holzapfel studied civil engineering, first working in leading positions from 1980–1993 as a transport scientist in research groups and later as an official at the Transport Ministry of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Since 1993 he has been a professor at the Faculty of Architecture, Urban and Landscape Planning at the University of Kassel, Germany, and since 2009 has lead the research project "Sintropher" in close collaboration with Sir Peter Hall. Urbanism and Transport was published in German as Urbanismus und Verkehr and went on to become one of the bestselling books on urban and transport planning.
