Julie Campoli
Julie Campoli is an urban designer and author who writes about urban form and the changing landscape. She combines a planner’s perspective with a designer’s sensibility to illustrate the built environment and the processes that shape it.
She is currently the editor of Sustainable Transportation Vermont, a web site focused on reducing car-dependency in rural areas. Her books include Made for Walking: Density and Neighborhood Form, Visualizing Density and Above and Beyond: Visualizing Change in Small Towns and Rural Areas. Her Burlington, Vermont–based practice, Terra Firma Design, specializes in urban design, land use analysis and site planning for affordable housing.
As a University of Vermont Fellow, through the school’s Center for Research on Vermont, Julie edited a blog focused on lowering the carbon footprint of travel in small cities and rural areas, building Sustainable Transportation Vermont into a statewide forum and resource for legislators, planners, and policy makers working to increase density and expand public transportation in small communities.
