Michael Gallis Biography

Michael Gallis is widely considered the country's leading expert in developing global strategies for large-scale metropolitan regions. He has pioneered a specialty in building systems based frameworks through which public, private and institutional leaders can work effectively to create globally competitive regions. Through these frameworks, Gallis has mobilized leaders across the country to understand and develop new ways of responding to the challenges and opportunities of states and regions in the 21st century.

Michael Gallis& Associates, a strategic planning and design firm, was formed in 1988. Since that time, the company has grown to become a multi-disciplinary firm offering a wide variety of planning, real estate and information services to a broad range of public, private and institutional clients across the country. His firm specializes in transportation and economic development strategies. MG&A has received many awards and honors, including a National Design Award from the U.S. Department of Transportation and the National Endowment for the Arts, and two National Economic Development awards for work on the Concord-Cabarrus Sourcebook.

Mr. Gallis was recently a consultant to the National Surface Transportation Revenue and Study Commission for developing the "Big Picture" component of the vision. This component focused on the infrastructure the nation must develop to effectively compete in the 21st century global economy. His firm has completed strategic development programs for a number of regions, states and nations. Clients included the Detroit, Cincinnati, Memphis, West Michigan, Orlando and Charlotte regions, the states of Connecticut, Rhode Island, Illinois, and New Jersey and the nations of Canada and the U.S.

He has been a featured speaker and seminar leader for a variety of international and national meetings and conferences on subjects ranging from urban development and regional planning to transportation, economic development and technology. He delivered the keynote address at a conference on technology at the Royal Academy in London, and at a conference on sustainable infrastructure at the National Academy of Sciences. He has testified in the U.S. Senate on the infrastructure that the nation needs to remain competitive in the 21st Century global economy and before the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. He has also appeared as a commentator on the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer on PBS.

Mr. Gallis has served on numerous boards and commissions. He currently serves on the board of American Forests, Washington DC, and has served as a member of the Governor's Commission on a Competitive North Carolina, the Advisory Board of the International Congress of the Atlantic Rim and the Mayor's International Cabinet. He also was selected to join a technical assistance team sent to Poland, sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, to provide advice on major metropolitan development, and is a Fellow of the Institute of Urban Design in New York. Gallis is a member of the Founding Board of the International Radical Innovation Institute, which is focused on accelerating the process of commercializing radical innovations in technology and helping societies and governments to better prepare for their impacts.

Mr. Gallis was a professor in the College of Architecture at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte from 1974 to 1997. In 1990 he was selected as the first Fellow at the Institute of Urban Studies. Gallis received a Bachelors degree in Architecture from the University of California, Berkley and two Masters degrees in Architecture and City Planning from the University of Pennsylvania.
