Interests
Professor Brown’s research explores the role that prejudices in professional practice have had on the development of less-than-optimal transportation systems. His interests include the early professionalization of transportation planning, the changing nature of street and highway planning in the United States, transportation finance, and the relevance of different service strategies for making public transit more successful in decentralized urban areas.
