Welcome to my website!
My name is Todd BenDor – I am an Assistant Professor of City and Regional Planning at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I specialize in environmental and land use planning, a part of urban planning that studies the environmental implications of urban development. In my research, I use computer modeling, including system dynamics modeling and spatial analysis, to better understand the impacts that human activities and development can have on sensitive ecological and environmental systems.
I live in “The Paris of the Piedmont”, a small town in North Carolina where most people genuinely care about their community and are interested in shaping its future. I am interested in technology – both in how it can help us connect to one another, and how it can isolate us into the corners of our own, distant worlds. I can walk to work from where I live. I am avid photographer and traveler. I also have two of the most beautiful and fun dogs on the planet.
On this site you’ll find lots of information on my professional life. You’ll also eventually find many of my photos and travel information. You should also check out my food blog.
