About Steve Hankey

A major societal and research question is how best to build healthy, clean cities. My work explores how the urban environment impacts health: (1) measurement and modeling of air quality, (2) designing bicycle and pedestrian traffic count programs, and (3) how the built and natural environments impact health.
