Alex Marshall is a senior fellow at RPA and an independent journalist in New York City, is the author of How Cities Work: Suburbs, Sprawl and The Roads Not Taken (University of Texas 2001). His articles and columns have appeared in The New York Times Magazine, The Boston Globe, Metropolis Magazine, The Washington Post, Salon Magazine, George, Architecture, Newsday, The San Francisco Chronicle and many other publications. Marshall was a Loeb Fellow in 1999-2000 at Harvard University's Graduate School of Design. He holds a master's degree in journalism from Columbia University, and a bachelor's in Political Economy and Spanish from Carnegie-Mellon University. He is a native of Norfolk, Va and was a staff writer at The Virginian-Pilot in Norfolk from 1989 to 1997.
For more than a decade, Marshall has specialized in writing about the affairs, politics, culture and architecture of cities. He has focused on the physical, social and cultural changes that have occurred in cities as technological and economic forces wrench them into new shapes and forms. He has shaken conventional wisdom with his views on everything from New Urbanism, to standard economic remedies. Marshall has been quoted in numerous publications, including The New York Times, the Utne Reader, U.S. News and World Report and The Miami Herald. He speaks around the country and in Europe. He recently contributed two speculative essays, "The Future of Transportation," and "The Future of Towns and Cities," to the Catalog of Tomorrow, which was published in Sept. 2002 |
