Rolf Pendall is an assistant professor in the Department of City and Regional Planning at Cornell University, where he teaches courses in land use planning, growth management, environmental planning, affordable housing, infrastructure planning, and quantitative methods. Dr. Pendall’s research on land use controls studies why communities adopt them, how they vary across the United States, whether they work as advertised, and whether they have desirable or undesirable consequences for affordable housing, ethnic and racial diversity, and the environment. In particular, he is interested in the prevalence and patterns of exclusionary zoning in U.S. cities. In the early 1990s, Dr. Pendall headed housing and land-use advocacy and research efforts at the Bay Area Council, a San Francisco-based organization with interests in affordable housing and regional growth management. Dr. Pendall holds a Ph.D. in City and Regional Planning from the University of California at Berkeley, and an M.S. in Community and Regional Planning and an M.A. in Latin American Studies from the University of Texas at Austin.
