Andrew teaches and researches in the urban and regional planning academic discipline.  He has a background in regional science, transport and urban planning.  His academic expertise spans governance, transport and infrastructure planning, smart cities, regional science, planning for rural and regional areas and urban planning.  Andrew has been involved in research projects both in Australia, Asia and the United Kingdom during his research career.  Andrew’s current research focuses on transit oriented developments, sustainable mobility planning (particularly with regard to active transport modes such as walking and cycling), zero emission transport solutions (both public and private), the impacts of digital technologies on mobility (including the societal impact of Autonomous Vehicles and shared mobility) and managing the community perceptions of wind farms. 

Sustainable transport planning (transit oriented development, walking, cycling, public transit and zero emission vehicles).,Transport energy ratings for urban development and Intelligent Transport Systems.,Environmentally Sustainable Regional Development and Management.,Planning and policy implications of local micro power generation systems.,Planning for retail environments and Main Street Environments.,Funding options for Infrastructure Planning such as Public Private Partnerships.
