Bruce Appleyard (born July 2, 1965) is an American city planner and urban designer, theorist, consultant, academic, and author. He works as a Professor of City Planning for San Diego State University in the School of Public Affairs. He has authored articles in the emerging field of Livability Ethics.[1][2] He is the son of Donald Appleyard, a British-born American urban and city planner.
Education
[edit]Appleyard earned his BA in geography from UC Berkeley in 1989, continuing to a Masters and PhD (2010) in City & Regional Planning, also from UC Berkeley. He joined the School of Public Affairs at San Diego State University (SDSU) in 2013, where he is currently a Professor.
Career
[edit]At SDSU, Appleyard is the Director of Action Institute for Sustainability, Livability, and Equity (AISLE) and Active Transportation Research.
Appleyard has co-authored the text book The Transportation/Land Use Connection[3] and written scholarly articles on urban issues including transit-oriented development, land-use, sustainability, and livability.[4]
In 2014, Appleyard and colleagues received a grant from HUD, DOT, and EPA to develop a "Livability Calculator" based on research from more than 350 transportation corridors throughout the United States. The Livability Calculator is a tool to help City Planning Professionals integrate the best planning practices of transport and land-use, access to opportunities, and social equity. Appleyard believes that by improving access to opportunities, people may improve the quality of their lives.[5]
In 2020, he published Livable Streets 2.0, which updates and extends Donald Appleyard's 1981 study of urban design.[6]
In 2023, in collaboration with researchers at the University of New Mexico, the University of California, Berkeley, the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee, and the University of Tennessee, Appleyard was the recipient of a five-year $10 million grant from the US Department of Transportation to create the first University Transportation Center (UTC) dedicated solely to pedestrian and bicyclist safety.[7]
Awards
[edit]- 2006 Top-Ten Active Living Heroes by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, alongside Dan Burden and then-Senator Barack Obama. This was for work with communities to improve their livability, safety, and health.[8]
