show moreDavid Hawk earned an engineering degree at Iowa State University and was given the “scariest student” award at graduation. He went back to Germany to work on the 1972 Munich Olympic Competition Design with a man he greatly admired. Upon the team winning Hawk was offered a job in London to “redevelop” its historic Piccadilly Circus. He then opposed it upon discovering the work was to move humans underground, into dark walkways, so the cars could drive through the Circus more quickly in the bright sunlight. Hawk saw this as an ethical problem like Plato’s Allegory of the Cave and so he initiated a public exhibition for ordinary citizens. The project was killed, and Hawk was fired. He then completed master’s degrees in architecture and in city Planning at the University of Pennsylvania. Via his planning thesis he was invited into the first class of a new Systems Sciences Program at the Wharton School. His dissertation idea was rejected in the US thus he moved it to the Stockholm School of Economics. There he created a major study of how environmental deterioration results from business as usual. CEOs of 20 major international firms and leaders of 6 governments asked to join his project. It projected climate change consequences for continuance of business as usual. Many outside the study called climate change a hoax, including the then head of US EPA and the Dean of Wharton in 1979. In 2024 it is clearly not a hoax.
