Do Kim – Cal Poly Pomona Experts

Urban and Regional Planning Professor Do Kim

Expertise:

Transportation Environmental Impact, Urban and Regional Planning, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Analysis, Sustainable Transportation, Transportation and Land Use Relationship

Do Kim has spent more than two decades examining the impact of transportation planning and policies on land use and the health and wellbeing of community members, utilizing GIS applications to discern patterns of impact across communities.

A particular focus of Kim’s work has been the impacts of transportation systems on asthma rates and morbidity in a community, how traffic mitigation measures can improve the safety of elderly pedestrians, the development of an environmental justice index, and compact urban development.
