Jonathan Levine is a Professor of Urban and Regional Planning at the University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, where he has been faculty since 1991. His work focuses on transportation planning, housing and equitable development, and land use and environmental planning, with a particular emphasis on shifting from mobility-based to accessibility-based planning paradigms. Levine's educational background includes: Ph.D. in City and Regional Planning from the University of California, Berkeley M.C.P. in City and Regional Planning from the University of California, Berkeley M.S. in Engineering (Civil Engineering-Transportation focus) from the University of California, Berkeley B.S. in Political Economy of Natural Resources from the University of California, Berkeley His research centers on the potential and rationales for policy reform in transportation and land use. Levine argues that a shift in the transportation and land-use planning paradigm from a mobility to an accessibility basis is compelled by transportation theory and would be transformative to planning practices. His current work includes sponsored projects and the book "From Mobility to Accessibility: Transforming Urban Transportation and Land-Use Planning" (Cornell University Press, 2019), co-authored with Joe Grengs and Louis Merlin. He previously authored "Zoned Out: Regulation, Markets, and Choices in Transportation and Metropolitan Land Use" (Resources for the Future, 2006), which argued for policy reform based on expanding households' effective range of choices. Levine's recent publications demonstrate a clear trend toward accessibility-based evaluation of transportation systems and land-use planning. His articles explore topics such as comparing bus rapid transit and light rail, project-level accessibility analysis, overcoming the last-mile problem, and the effects of automated transit systems. His work consistently challenges traditional transportation planning paradigms and advocates for approaches that prioritize access to destinations rather than mere mobility. Levine's contributions to the field have been recognized with several prestigious awards: 2010 Chester Rapkin Award for best paper in the Journal of Planning Education and Research 2011 Residential Fellowship at the Rockefeller Foundation Center in Bellagio, Italy 2001 Excellence in Urban Policy Scholarship Award from the Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development 1996 Best of Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning Award Levine has led significant research projects including Implementation of Accessibility-Based Evaluation for Transportation and Land-Use Planning funded by NEXTRANS, Sustainable Transportation for a 3rd Century addressing the last mile problem, and Accessibility Evaluation from Laboratory to Practice. His teaching portfolio includes Transportation and Land-Use Planning, Public Economics for Urban Planning, Research Design, and the MUP Capstone studio, where he guides students through real-world planning challenges. As a thought leader in urban planning, Levine regularly contributes to public discourse on zoning policies, housing diversity, and transportation planning. He has been featured in numerous media outlets discussing how land use policies impact sustainability, affordability, and racial justice, emphasizing that "zoning is behind all of it, and is not only the cause, but exacerbates it." His insights on the historical role of single-family zoning in perpetuating racial segregation have been particularly influential in contemporary housing policy debates.
