Greg Lindsay writes frequently about the intersection of transportation, urbanization, and globalization. He is the author, with John D. Kasarda, of the forthcoming Aerotropolis: The Way We’ll Live Next, (March 2011) which examines how and where we choose to live in an interconnected world—in cities orbiting airports, and not the other way around. (It’s available for pre-order now.) He is a contributing writer for Fast Company, and has written for Fortune, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, Wired, and Time.

Praise from Rem Koolhaas: “An excellent interviewer—intelligent and hostile.”
