Bronzaft, Arline L. Ph.D
Dr Bronzaft is an environmental psychologist, and Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Lehman College in New York City. Her research on the New York subway map contributed to MTA's review of the 1972 Vignelli map and its instigation of the 1979 redesign, which was carried out by Michael Hertz. With Dr Stephen Dobrow, Dr Bronzaft tested the Vignelli map and reported on its shortcomings. As a result of publicity given to that research, Drs Bronzaft and Dobrow were invited to join the MTA's map-making committee in 1975. References:
