Dennis R. Judd holds a B.S. from Oregon College of Education and a Ph.D. from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. He has previously taught at Washington University in St. Louis, University of Denver, and University of Missouri-St. Louis. During 2001-2002 he was a Faculty Scholar at the Great Cities Institute. He currently is a Professor in the Department of Political Science and Fellow in the GCI.

He has published 14 books and numerous articles and other publications on urban political economy, urban revitalization, urban policy, and public policy. He co-authored the frequently cited Restructuring the City (Longman 1986), which traced the reconstruction of cities from the urban renewal period to the 1980s. He has also published extensively on urban regeneration in Europe and the United States; see the two co-edited books, Regenerating the Cities: The UK Crisis and the US Experience (Manchester University Press and Scott, Foresman, 1989) and Leadership and Urban Regeneration: Cities in North American and Europe (Sage 1990). Among his several books are textbooks on urban politics, City Politics (Longman 4th ed. 2004) and a textbook on public policy, The Development of American Public Policy (Longman 1994).

Recently he has pioneered in scholarly research on urban tourism. As part of this continuing research program he co-edited The Tourist City (Yale 1999) and Cities and Visitors (Blackwell 2004), and edited The Infrastructure of Play (M.E. Sharpe 2003). From 1985 to October 2001 he served as editor of the Urban Affairs Review, and he edits the Globalization and Community book series for the University of Minnesota Press. He received the Chancellor's Award for Research and Creativity form the University of Missouri-St. Louis in 1998, and the Career Achievement Award from the Urban Politics Section of the American Political Science Association in 1998.
