Regional Planning (Grad) @Cornell ‘25 | Actively Seeking Employment Opportunities in 2025Hello, I’m Yizhou Wang, an urban planner driven by a passion for creating sustainable communities fueled by data insights. With a Master's from Cornell University and a Bachelor's from Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, I specialize in GIS analysis, policy development, climate resilience, and transportation planning. My journey involves deep dives into urban density dynamics and contributing to cutting-edge research on climate resilience. Moreover, with hands-on experience as a real estate and transportation data analyst, I’ve crafted innovative solutions to complex urban challenges. I firmly believe that urban planning serves as a tangible reflection of our societal values embedded within the physical environment. Beyond merely scrutinizing urban data, I’m committed to delving into the socio-economic dynamics behind the urban data that shape our communities.Let's connect on LinkedIn to explore opportunities in shaping future-proof resilient transportation systems, urban planning and vibrant communities together.
