Distinguished urban planning professor Melvin Webber, who helped plan and then studied San Francisco's BART system, passed away at 86.
"During more than half a century as a planner and educator in the Bay Area, Webber headed UC Berkeley's Institute of Urban and Regional Development and the University of California Transportation Center. He also successfully fought for establishment of a Ph.D. program in planning at UC Berkeley.
"He was an icon in transportation and planning. He was huge in his field," said Elizabeth Deakin, a UC Berkeley planning professor who succeeded Webber as director of the UC Transportation Center after his retirement."
