Paul Villeneuve a complete un baccalaureat en pedagogie a l'Universite de Montreal en 1963, un baccalaureat es arts a l'Universite d'Ottawa en 1964 et une licence en geographie a l'Universite Laval en 1967. Boursier Woodrow Wilson, il a ensuite obtenu un Ph.D. (geographie sociale urbaine) de l'Universite de Washington a Seattle en 1971. De 1971 a 1995, il a ete rattache au Departement de geographie de l'Universite Laval. Maintenant professeur au Departement d'amenagement, il est membre regulier du CRAD depuis 1988 et en a ete le directeur de 1991 a 1999. Il y coordonne les activites de l'equipe qui travaille sur les dynamiques urbaines. Ses recherches portent sur la structure et le fonctionnement des agglomerations urbaines, tout particulierement sur les nombreuses transformations associees a l'augmentation de la participation des femmes a la main-d'oeuvre, changements qui affectent les marches urbains de l'emploi, du logement et des transports ainsi que la sphere politique. Il developpe des methodes qui incorporent ces transformations dans les modeles de localisation et de deplacements, en utilisant l'agglomeration de Quebec comme principal terrain d'experimentation. Il est membre de l'equipe du CRAD affiliee au GEOIDE et appuyee par le programme Grands travaux de recherche concertee du CRSH. Il codirige le chantier portant sur la dynamique de l'emploi au sein du projet structurant * Villes, regions, monde + appuye par Valorisation-Recherche Quebec de 2000 a 2003. Boursier Killam de janvier 2000 a janvier 2002 pour ses recherches sur * l'insertion des femmes dans la cite +, il dirige aussi un projet, appuye par le CRSH de 2000 a 2003, sur la cohesion sociale dans la region de Quebec. Professor of Urban Geography at Laval University since 1971 and Director of Laval's Research Center in Regional and Urban Development and Planning from 1991 to 1999, Paul Villeneuve has obtained a Ph.D. in Geography from The University of Washington in Seattle in 1971. His research interests are in the field of regional development, evolving urban form, urban social geography, spatial dimensions of gender relations, and research methodology. On leave from Laval in 1981-1982, he spent the academic year teaching at the Institut d'urbanisme de l'Academie de Paris. Since 1977, he has supervised 19 Ph.D and 42 M.A. theses. In 1996, he was elected to the Royal Society of Canada and, in 1998, he received the Prize for Scholarly Distinction of the Canadian Association of Geographers for his research on the social geography of Canadian cities. He held a Killam Fellowship (2000-2002) from the Canada Council for the Arts for a research project on the process of women's participation to the urban political sphere. Presently, he is the coordinator of a multidisciplinary research project supported by SSHRC on processes of social cohesion at the regional scale.

Tony Richardson is Director and Principal Transport Consultant for The Urban Transport Institute. He has over 25 years experience in various aspects of transport planning, transport modelling and transport data collection. He has worked in academia (at Monash, Melbourne, RMIT and Sydney Universities in Australia and at Cornell University in the USA), and also in Government and in consulting. Dr. Richardson's research and professional interests lie predominantly in the area of transport planning and management. He has researched, consulted and published widely in the area, and has been involved in many projects involving the development and application of computer models of the transport system. He is a recognised expert in the design, conduct and analysis of large scale travel surveys, and is co author of a leading text on Travel Survey Methods. While tending to approach the subject of transport planning from a quantitative viewpoint, he is keen to see that planners and managers do not lose sight of the human dimensions of transport systems. As a result, he attempts to take a balanced view which considers the economic, environmental and social aspects of transport systems operations. In addition to his transport activities, Tony is also an accredited trainer/facilitator in Lateral Thinking and the Six Thinking Hats methods developed by Edward de Bono. Tony Richardson is advising MCRI Project 1.1, 3.3 and 4.0. Further information can be obtained at http://www.tuti.com.au/STAFF/staffajr.htm

Dr. Andrew S. Harvey (B.A., Maine; M.A.. And Ph.D., Clark University) is Professor of Economics, Director of the Time-use Research Program at Saint Mary's University and President of the International Association for Time use Research (IATUR). Dr. Harvey' did his Ph. D. in urban and regional economics. He was charter president of the Canadian Regional Science Association and Founding Co-editor of the Canadian Journal of Regional Science. His research interests cross several disciplines focusing particularly on the study of time-use and the definition, measurement and valuing of human activity. Dr. Harvey has a particular interest in travel behaviour dating from 1971 when he directed DOMA (Dimensions of Metropolitan Activity) a time-space study in Halifax, Canada. Since that time he has been heavily involved in the design, implementation and analysis of time use surveys. Dr. Harvey has served as a consultant to the FAO; the UN Statistical Office; UNDP; the World Bank; Statistics Canada; and a number of other organisations. With funding from SSHRC Dr. Harvey and several colleagues are exploring the concept of activity settings, the social-spatial-temporal context of behaviour. He is the author of numerous monographs and articles in a number of areas including time use methodology, travel behaviour, urban and regional economics and planning, social indicators, leisure studies, ageing, gender studies, evaluative research, and secondary data analysis. Much of his most recent work has been in the area of the impact of the evolving time economy (24/7) on temporal-spatial aspects of work and travel behaviour starting with two studies, "The 24 Hour Society" and "Flexibility and Mobility" undertaken for the Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water Management in the Netherlands.

Prof. Peter Stopher was educated at the University of London, where he received both his B.Sc. (Eng.) and Ph.D. He is a Fellow of both the American Society of Civil Engineers and the Institute of Engineers Australia. He has been a professor at Northwestern University, Cornell University, McMaster University, and Louisiana State University, where he was awarded the endowed chair of the Louisiana Land and Exploration Company Professor. He also spent 11 years from 1980 through 1990 as a full-time transportation planning consultant in private industry in the United States. Prof. Stopher has 35 years of professional experience in transport planning, travel forecasting, travel-behaviour modelling, and associated areas. He has published 10 books and more than 160 papers. He has an international reputation in travel-demand modelling, and the development of new procedures for travel forecasting. He was one of the pioneers of the development of disaggregate travel-demand models and was the first to use and apply the logit model in the 1960s. He was a founding member and now Emeritus Member of the Transportation Research Board¡¯s Committee on Traveler Behavior and Values, serving as its first Chairman from 1971-1977, and again from 1995-1997; he also founded the series of International Conferences on Traveller Behaviour that began in 1973 and which will hold its next meeting in Switzerland in 2003. In addition to work in travel forecasting, Dr. Stopher has also developed a substantial reputation in the field of data collection, particularly for the support of travel forecasting and analysis. He pioneered the development of travel and activity diaries as a data-collection mechanism, and has also written extensively on issues of sample design, data expansion, nonresponse biases, and measurement issues. he is currently working on standards for travel surveys, use of GPS devices in connection with personal travel surveys, and the creation of synthetic household travel survey data Dr. Stopher initiated the TRB Subcommittee on Survey Methods, which is now a Committee of the TRB. He co-chaired the international conference on Transport Surveys: Raising the Standard, in Eibsee, Germany in May 1997 and the following conference in Kruger Park, South Africa in 2001, and will co-chair the one in Costa Rica in 2004. Dr. Stopher is advising the GEOIDE2 project and is a member of the International Steering Committee.
