Susan Krumdieck has been breaking new ground in research that marries energy and transport and urban form for nearly two decades. The work has resulted in numerous PhD student projects and publications in top journals. But now she has figured out how to make the new methodology of Transition Engineering useful in the real world. Roads and streets are some of the most profound of humanity’s works, shaping the pattern of life for centuries. And yet, our inability to consider the future in the transport field gives rise to questions about how we can and should evolve our approach, with urgency. Last century’s transport engineering will not build a sustainable future. Time for a revolution.
