I’m Dr. Gu, and I stand for GU: Good Urbanism. As a transdisciplinary urban researcher and planner, I work at the intersection of urban studies, human geography, and data science, striving to promote the core values of Good Urbanism in both academia and practice. By leveraging urban data analytics, my research pursues three key goals: (a) evaluating urban planning strategies across spatial, institutional, and societal dimensions to generate actionable insights for equitable and sustainable development; (b) analyzing real estate market dynamics to inform strategies that enhance housing quality and spatial justice; and (c) exploring emerging technologies such as urban AI and smart cities to address threats to urban vitality and inclusiveness proactively. Through this integrated research agenda, I aim to advance Good Urbanism and help shape cities that are fairer, smarter, and more livable for all. 🙋♂️
