Robert Cervero works in the area of sustainable transportation policy and planning, focusing on the nexus between urban transportation and land-use systems.  Professor Cervero has and continues to serve as an advisor and consultant on numerous transportation and urban planning projects worldwide, most recently advising long-range planning in Dubai and Singapore.  His most recent book, Beyond Mobility, co-authored with Erick Guerra and Stefan Al, won the 2019 National Urban Design Best Book Award. He was a member of Berkeley's city and regional planning faculty from 1980 to 2016, where he twice served as Department Chair, was the inaugural holder of the Carmel P. Friesen Chair in Urban Studies, and directed both the University of California Transportation Center (2009-2017) and the Institute of Urban and Regional Development (2009-2014).  He currently has a visiting faculty appointment in the College of Architecture and Urban Planning at Tongji University in Shanghai.
