His book with Jeff Kenworthy ‘Cities and Automobile Dependence (1989)' has been described as ‘one of the most influential planning books of all time’ and the follow-up book 'Sustainability and Cities: Overcoming Automobile Dependence' was launched in the White House in 1999. In 2014 he was awarded an Order of Australia for his contributions to urban design and sustainable transport.
