University Lecturer in Chinese Urban Development. Dr Li Wan is interested in understanding the urban development processes, particularly those related to land use and transport, through advanced data analytics and urban system models.

He has been developing and applying computational models of cities and the infrastructure systems for cities in China (Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Guizhou, Wuhan, Chengdu), South Korea (Seoul) and UK (Cambridge), and in the process, collaborating closely with architects, urban designers, planners, engineers, economists, real estate developers and policy makers.
