Academic Profile

David Banister is Professor of Transport Studies at the School of Geography and the Environment (SoGE). During 2009-2010 he was also Acting Director of the Environmental Change Institute in SoGE. Until recently he was Professor of Transport Planning at University College London. He has been Research Fellow at the Warren Centre in the University of Sydney (2001-2002) on the Sustainable Transport for a Sustainable City project and was Visiting VSB Professor at the Tinbergen Institute in Amsterdam (1994-1997). He was a visiting Professor at the University of Bodenkultur in Vienna in 2007.

He is editor of the Journal Transport Reviews (2000-) and joint editor of Built Environment (1993-), and is on the editorial board of Town Planning Reviews (1993-), European Journal of Transport Infrastructure Research (1999-), International Journal of Sustainable Transport (2005-), Logistics and Sustainable Transport (2006-) and Environment and Planning B (2008-).

He has been an International Assessor for the Delft Technical University Research Centres 2006, OTB 2002, 2004, TRAIL, 2006, and is currently a member of the Transumo Scientific Consultative Committee 2005-2010. He has been an assessor for Volvo Foundation's Future Urban Transport research programme 2006-2007, their PhD programme (2008), and the 2009 VINNOVA assessment of Swedish Transport Research Centres. He is involved in the assessment of the EU ERC Advanced Investigators Grants (2007-2012 - Vice Chairman), and the European Parliament's STOA study on the future of long distance travel in Europe (2007-2008). He is currently involved in research with several international agencies, including EU 7th Framework Programme projects, The European Environment Agency, The Asian Development Bank, ITPS in Japan and the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency, WHO and UN Habitat.

Prof. Banister has advised on appointments and promotions for International Chairs in the USA, Canada, Israel, Netherlands and Australia, as well as at various institutions in the UK, including: Newcastle, Leeds, Loughborough, Aberdeen, Liverpool, Bristol and London.

He has acted as an adviser to several government departments (Defra, DfT, DECC, Cabinet Office, and the NAO). He has been a member of numerous Research Council Committees including; EPSRC Link Programme on Future Integrated Transport 1999-2004; EPSRC Link Programme on Inland Surface Transport 1996-2002, and the ESRC Professorial Fellows panel (2010). He has been the director of the ESRC Transport and Environment programme, a member of the EU STELLA/STAR TransAtlantic Research Network organising team 2000-2005, the ODPM Planning Research Network (2003-6) as well as the HEFCE RAE Town and Country Planning Panels (1999-2001 and 2006-2008).

Prof. Banister has delivered numerous invited keynote speeches for overseas conferences, these include: Tokyo, Vancouver, Berlin, Barcelona, Munich, Kyoto, (2011); Copenhagen, Paris, Hong Kong, Shanghai Lisbon, Volos, Stockholm, Berkeley (2010); Delhi, Copenhagen and Paris (2009); Dublin and Brussels (2008). He was awarded the Transport Policy Prize ([PDF: 23KB]) for his 2008 Transport Policy paper entitled 'The Sustainable Mobility Paradigm' at the 12th World Conference on Transport Research.

Current Research

Prof. Banister has authored and edited 19 books that summarise his own research and some of the international projects that he has been involved with. He has also authored (or coauthored) more than 150 papers in international refereed journals, together with a similar number of other papers in journals or as contributions to books. Other outputs include research monographs (over 50), and reports for research sponsors (over 100). Over the period 2005-2011, over 70 papers have been presented at major national and international conferences.

He has an established international reputation in transport research, in particular the contribution that the social sciences can make to the analysis of transport. His current research has concentrated on five main areas:

  1. Policy Scenario Building - this has been undertaken in the context of sustainable urban development and transport. The perspective taken is a long term one (2030+), and it explores the future of cities and how transport can contribute to that future. Novel methods of modified backcasting have been used to develop visions of desirable city futures, together with the analysis of policy packages and paths to move towards those futures. Research has been carried out for the EU (POSSUM and ICTRANS), the German Government (URBAN21), the RICS, the DfT (VIBAT) and HEFCE (UrbanBuzz: VIBAT-London), and for other cities such as Delhi, Vancouver, Auckland, Jinan, Oxfordshire, the European Parliament (ETAG project), and most recently as part of the Global ITPS and the ASEAN Studies. The EPSRC Visions 2030 project also uses the same methodology.
  2. Reducing the Need to Travel - this includes analysis of pricing and planning interventions to achieve reductions in trip distances, car use and emissions. Much of this research is related to city centre options, including raising densities, settlement size thresholds, mixed use developments, and local neighbourhood design issues. The key concern here is to provide local opportunities and to improve accessibility so that the quality of life in cities can be improved. Research has been carried out for the EU (DANTE, TRANSLAND, TRANSPLUS, PLUME, OPTIC), the EPSRC (Cities and Sustainability Programme and SUE1), work for international agencies (NEAA and ADB), and as part of the Future of Cities programme with the Saïd Business School.
  3. Climate Change, Energy and Environmental Modelling - this research has acted as an integrating part of the research, as it examines the means by which the carbon and energy costs of transport can be quantified and used in evaluation. It also covers the energy consumption patterns of different settlement types and their associated travel demand patterns. A GIS model (ESTEEM) has been developed for use by local authorities to help them understand the travel, energy and environmental implications of different settlement options. Research has been carried out for the EPSRC (ESTEEM), the North Oxfordshire Consortium (Upper Heyford Development), the EU (JUPITER and SAMI) and the CPRE. Recently this has extended to biomass and alternative energy fuels sources in the TSEC-BIOSYS project and to the JM-ICERT project on carbon and energy reduction in transport. A scoping study on Climate Change and Transport is being carried out (2009-2010) as part of the initial activities of the UK Transport Research Centre.
  4. Transport Investment and Economic Development - this research has tackled the important issue of measuring the non transport benefits of transport investments. Methodologies have been developed to identify additionality or new activity (employment, inward investment, land and property value uplift) resulting from transport investments, and this has involved the use of time series data and GIS mapping techniques. Research has been carried out for ODPM, RICS, TfL and the Scottish Executive.
  5. Rural Transport and Employment - this has been a continuing interest, both in terms of transport's role in helping to reduce inaccessibility and in encouraging sustainable rural communities. Recent research here has looked at the particular problems of the young rural unemployed and the development of an evaluation tool for assessing social needs, as well as value for money from the rural transport partnerships. Research has been carried out for the EPSRC (TRANTEL) and Geodemographics and rural bus services), Defra, Countryside Agency, Commission for Rural Communities, and the Welsh Advisory Group.
