Profile
Dr. Seidel’s career has bridged many areas and been both multidisciplinary
and interdisciplinary. He has served during his academic career as the
founding editor of a leading scholarly journal, the Journal of Architectural
and Planning Research (JAPR), with over 21 years of continuous quarterly
publication; academic administrator; teacher; practitioner; and researcher.
In the over quarter century he has served as a professor, his work has
taken one general theme: the linking of systematically discovered knowledge
to physical planning and the built environment. It is not unfair to say
that at this point in his career, Dr. Seidel is one of the internationally
leading scholars in this subject.
Dr. Seidel’s work spans many areas
including urban design, planning, policy development, management, and
organization. His degrees are from architecture,
analysis and administration in urban planning, public policy and research,
and urban and regional planning. Throughout he has focused on the use of knowledge
for decision making in these usually perceived disparate but, in fact, surprisingly
similar areas of professional decision making. The spectrum of in-depth background,
education, and experience has all contributed to Dr. Seidel’s work.
