SHIMA HAMIDI

Bloomberg Assistant Professor of American Health, Johns Hopkins University

I am a transportation planner and a smart growth advocate and over the past several years, I have developed expertise in measuring urban form and its quality of life impacts. I have published extensively on walkability, non-motorized transportation, public transit, housing and transportation affordability, public health, life expectancy, upward mobility, and traffic safety.

The results of my research were also presented in a national press release in partnership with Smart Growth America and have been cited in more than 110 national and regional social medias such as Wall Street Journal, Washington Post and CNN Money.
