Yngve Karl Frøyen

Professor Yngve Karl Frøyen works at the Department of Architecture and Planning, Faculty of Architecture and Design, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). With expertise in sustainable transport solutions, urban spatial modeling, and GIS applications for planning, he has taught and supervised urban and regional planning topics since 2010. His work spans multiple master programs and involves improving transport modeling tools for walking, transit, and bicycling modes.

• Research Focus: Sustainable urban transport (walking, bicycling, public transit), urban density, GIS methods, land use-transport interactions, and urban logistics.
• Teaching: Courses in GIS methods, land use-transport integration, regional planning, and master thesis supervision.
• Publications: 15+ works on transport modeling, urban density impacts, bicycle infrastructure, and planning methodology.
• Outreach: Regularly presents at conferences and seminars on topics like urban logistics, walking modeling, and transport policy.

His academic career spans from 1981 civil engineer graduation to current professorship, with prior roles at Norwegian Institute of Urban and Regional Research (NIBR) and SINTEF. He combines technical GIS proficiency with policy-oriented planning expertise.
