Lior Steinberg

Originally from Tel Aviv in Israel, Lior Steinberg is now settled in Rotterdam in the Netherlands. His first profession was as a computer programmer in the army. During these six years, he was always questioning “Why do traffic jams happen? When do they start? How do we solve it?”

After a stint in Berlin, Lior went on to study urban planning in Stockholm and later in the Netherlands, where he fell in love with cycling and with the way of living in Dutch cities. He then founded Humankind, and now works as an urban planner, consultant, and on urban-change projects. It’s in this capacity that Lior has had the chance to experiment, to give people what they need and want. He’s not ashamed to say it hasn’t always worked, but often it has.
