Timeline

1945

Michael Batty (born 11 January 1945) is a British academic currently appointed as Bartlett Professor of Planning in The Bartlett at University College London.

His work spans the fields of urban planning, geography and spatial data science.

1950

from 1950 to 1956 and then at Quarry Bank High School for Boys from 1956 to 1962.

1962

He went to the University of Manchester (1962–1966) where he studied Town and Country Planning gaining the BA degree with First Class Honours in 1966.

1966

He began his academic career in the University of Manchester in 1966, where he was appointed an assistant lecturer in town and country planning.

He then spent 10 years at the University of Reading as research assistant, lecturer and reader in geography.

During this time he spent one year as a visiting assistant professor of transport planning in the department of civil engineering in the University of Waterloo, Ontario.

1971

Professional Institutes: He has been a Member and now Fellow of the Royal Town Planning Institute since 1971, and the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport since 1984.

1972

He has been a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society since 1972.

1979

He moved to the University of Wales Institute of Science and Technology (now the University of Cardiff) in 1979, where he was professor of town planning.

During this time, he acted as head of department, and dean of the faculty of environmental design.

1984

His PhD is from the University of Wales, Institute of Science and Technology in 1984.

1988

At Cardiff, he was a Member of the Computer Board for British Universities and Research Councils, now JISC (1988–1990), a Member of the SERC (Science and Engineering Research Council) Transport Committee (1982–1985), Chair (1980–1982), then vice-chair (1982–1984) of the ESRC (Economic and Social Research Council) Environment and Planning Committee, and chair of the Conference of Heads of Planning Schools (CHOPS) 1986–1980.

1990

In 1990, he moved to direct the US National Science Foundation (NSF) National Center for Geographic Information and Analysis (NCGIA) at the State University of New York at Buffalo (SUNY-Buffalo), where he was a professor of geography.

He has held several visiting appointments in computing, engineering, planning, and geography at the following universities: University of Illinois; University of Melbourne; University of Hong Kong; University of Bristol; University of Michigan; and he currently has visiting appointments at Cardiff University and Arizona State University.

His research has focussed on the development of analytical methods and computer models for simulating the structure of cities and regions.

Early work involved aggregate land use transport models which are summarised in his first book Urban Modelling.

After this early work, he focused on more visual representations of cities and their models and some of these were represented in his second book Microcomputer Graphics.

With Paul Longley, he published Fractal Cities.

This work established the idea that cities might be regarded as the outcome of self-similar fractal processes generating structure from the bottom up.

His work on complexity theory in urban analysis and planning is the focus of his book Cities and Complexity, a summary of which is available on his ComplexCity web site.

His book The New Science of Cities.

ties many of the ideas together, developing the notion that it is flows rather than locations that are key to an understanding not only of cities but also the processes for their design and planning.

1995

He has been Director—now Chairman—of the Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis, set up when he was appointed to UCL in 1995.

His research and the work of CASA is focused on computer models of city systems.

2004

He has recently acted as: Member of the Advisory Panel on Public Sector Information – APPSI, Chair of the ESRC Census Advisory Committee, and a Member of the UK Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) 2004–2009 Geography Panel.

2011

He was awarded the William Alonso Prize of the Regional Science Association in 2011 for his book Cities and Complexity, the same prize a second time for his book The New Science of Cities in 2017–2018, the University Consortium GIS Research Award in 2012, and the Lauréat Prix International de Géographie Vautrin Lud, the so-called 'Nobel for geography', in 2013.

2012

The thesis on Pseudo Dynamic Urban Models was made available online in 2012.

2015

In 2015, he was awarded the Founder's Medal of the Royal Geographical Society and in 2016, the Gold Medal of the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI).
