How can people’s activity and opinion reach the way cities get planned?
Urban Researcher Life, Space, Buildings Latent Publics
Nice to meet you. I am Youngjun Park, and I study cities.
I work on how people’s activity, behavior, and opinion can reach the way cities get planned,
and on how far what surfaces that way can be trusted.
Toward that question, my work divides into four:
1) Research grounded in statistics and data,
2) Design in architecture and urban design,
3) Programming that builds AI agent systems,
4) And teaching urban design and urban data analysis.
