Senior🎓
Top SchoolAdam Davidson is a Senior Urban Mobility Associate with 12 years of experience at the intersection of sustainable transport, climate policy, and urban governance, currently leading global projects at the World Resources Institute. He combines a PhD in Geography with hands-on program delivery—managing a $1M/year Mobility & Accessibility Program that reached 10.6M people and avoided 950K tons of CO₂—to turn public transport into scalable climate and equity solutions. Adam blends strategic framing with practical execution across diverse contexts (India, China, Brazil, Mexico), using tools like GIS, Python, R, and Tableau to translate data into policy and implementation pathways. His background includes academic teaching and research on transit and shared mobility, plus earlier roles in transit capital budgeting and civic technology, giving him both technical rigor and institutional fluency. Known for convening multi-stakeholder collaborations, he advances durable, governance-focused innovations rather than one-off pilots. He is driven by rethinking how everyday systems are designed and governed to deliver more equitable, low-carbon cities.
