Rate My Professor Marc Schlossberg

Schlossberg's research centers on sustainable transportation, walkability, bicycle planning, livable community design, and participatory GIS, with applications to accelerate sustainable urban policies. He has authored or co-authored key publications such as the "Rethinking Streets" series—including "Rethinking Streets: An Evidence-Based Guide to 25 Complete Street Transformations" (2014), "Rethinking Streets for Bikes" (2019), and "Rethinking Streets During COVID-19" (2021)—collectively downloaded over 10,000 times in more than 20 countries. Other notable works include "Refining the grain: using resident-based walkability audits to better understand walkable urban form" (Journal of Urbanism, 2015) and "Street level design for cycling" (2022). His contributions extend to chapters on university-community partnerships and street redesigns in the face of new mobilities.

Recognized with two Fulbright Scholarships—a Distinguished Fulbright Scholar to the University of Sheffield, UK (2009-2010), and a Senior Fulbright Scholar to Technion–Israel Institute of Technology (2015-2016)—as well as the University of Oregon Sustainability Teacher of the Year (2016), AASHE Faculty Sustainability Award (2012), and induction into the Academy of Community Engagement Scholarship (2024), Schlossberg has significantly influenced urban planning. He co-founded the Sustainable City Year Program, now replicated internationally through the EPIC-N network, and directs a scholarship-supported study abroad program on bicycle transportation planning in Denmark and the Netherlands since 2011. Through these initiatives, he leverages academic resources to promote equitable, sustainable urban environments.
