International Comparisons President Dr. Sherman Lewis, PhD, retired professor of political science at California State University East Bay, Hayward started International Comparisons many years ago to provide an easy to use, objective website of statistics comparing the United States to developed countries. Evidence shows that the US is not an advanced democracy.
Dr. Lewis specializes in citizen policy, California, and environmental politics. He was a leader in the California Sierra Club and served four years on the BART Board. In addition to managing International Comparison, he currently leads a small advocacy group, the Hayward Area Planning Association (HAPA). HAPA has planned a walkable, sustainable development near Cal State East Bay called College Heights, https://collegehts.org/ and is seeking funding for it.
Dr. Lewis’ interest and research into College Heights grew into an academic interest in walkable neighborhood systems, WNS, mode choice, and density issues. Dr. Lewis has published numerous papers on WNS and continues his research and advocacy for WNS in general, and College Heights in specific.
