“My research focuses on urban renewal, high-density urban design, housing research, and age-friendly housing. I have experience in architectural design and urban planning before pursuing my PhD."
Current Research
Jinkun's current research analyzes the impact of urban renewal on the mental and physical health of older adults under the context of "Double ageing". She focuses on urban housing areas, communities, and their spatial planning treatments. She employs a mixed quantitative and qualitative approach and use natural experiments to compare differences in physical activities and mental health status of older adults to help create more age-friendly housing and community environments under urban renewal.
