View on WikipediaDavid Matthew Levinson (born 1967) is an American civil engineer and transportation analyst, a professor at the University of Sydney since 2017. He formerly held the RP Braun/CTS Chair in Transportation at the University of Minnesota, from 2006 to 2016.[1] He has authored or co-authored 8 books, edited 3 collected volumes, and authored or co-authored over 200 peer-reviewed articles on various aspects of transportation.[2] His most widely cited works[3] are on transportation accessibility and on the travel time budget. He has developed models of the co-evolution of transport and land use systems, demonstrating mutual causality empirically.[4] He is a founder of the World Society for Transport and Land Use Research.[5] In 1995 he was awarded the Charles Tiebout Prize in Regional Science by the Western Regional Science Association,[6] and in 2004, the CUTC-ARTBA New Faculty Award.[7] His travel behaviour research was featured in the book Traffic by Tom Vanderbilt.
