About
Andres Sevtsuk is a leading scholar at the intersection of urban design, spatial analytics, and transportation planning. His research focuses on redefining urban accessibility—moving beyond traditional metrics to understand how the built environment shapes movement, social interaction, and economic opportunity. Sevtsuk is best known for developing computational tools and network-based models that quantify walkability and access to amenities, fundamentally changing how planners evaluate urban form. His pioneering work on the “urban network analysis” framework has been widely adopted to measure pedestrian accessibility in cities worldwide. With over 5,000 citations across his body of work, Sevtsuk’s influence is profound. His recent paper, “The Future of Urban Accessibility: The Role of AI” (2024), explores how artificial intelligence can transform equitable city design, navigation tools, and interactive mapping. A professor at MIT, Sevtsuk has also authored the influential book *Street Commerce*, which examines the spatial logic of retail in cities. His research continues to shape how we design more accessible, vibrant, and human-centered urban environments.
