Xinghan Chen

Xinghan Chen is a Ph.D. student in City and Regional Planning at Cornell University. His work sits at the intersection of computational urban science, urban morphology, and cultural geography, employing computer vision, machine learning, and multi-sourced urban data to analyze the morphological and perceptual diversity of cityscapes across cultural contexts. Currently, he focuses on the identification of large-scale urban form in Sub-Saharan Africa and its implications for spatial inequality and sustainable outcomes. He received both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Architecture and Urban Planning from Tongji University.
