Jonathan Stiles is a teacher, researcher, and technologist focused on the intersection of technological innovation and urban planning. I am currently a Lecturer in Urban Planning in the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation at Columbia University.

I’ve taught courses at Columbia University, Rutgers University, and the New Jersey Institute of Technology, and conducted research at Florida Atlantic University and The Ohio State University. I worked professionally at Razorfish and AOL and was Director of Technology for the international education nonprofit Pencils of Promise. My publications include articles in Environment and Planning, Transportation, the Journal of Planning History, and the Journal of Transport and Land Use. I received my PhD in Planning and Public Policy from Rutgers University and my MA in International Affairs from The New School.
