Professor Zhou, Jiangping 周江評
Professor Zhou’s research focuses on transport/transit systems and land use connections and how to improve the performance of these connections. He investigates usage of alternative modes of travel based on traditional/primary data from sources such as surveys and interviews in the car-dominant context, where promotion of alternative modes of travel is extremely challenging. He also exploits big data from sources such as cellphone usage and smartcard swipes to improve the excess-commuting framework, which used to have nothing to do with big data. His research has produced evidence-based policy recommendations to promote alternative modes of travel, has elaborated interdisciplinary meanings of the excess-commuting framework, and has invented extra indicators to enrich that framework. As of January 2023, his has publications in top peer-reviewed multidisciplinary or specialist journals such as Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Urban Studies, and Journal of American Planning Association. He was ranked by Clarivate Analytics in the top 1% worldwide by citations in 2022.
Professor Zhou’s research output and efforts helped him win impactful services/appointments in academia and beyond. He is associate editor for Travel Behaviour and Society (Elsevier, IF: 5.85), Urban Rail Transit (Springer, IF: 2.12) and Transactions in Urban Data, Science and Technology, a new refereed journal launched by Sage in 2022. He also serves on the editorial boards of five top Urban Planning and Urban Transport refereed journals in Chinese and in English. Outside Hong Kong, he held honorary positions/appointments with three organizations, two universities, and one municipal government.
He is currently leading several research projects funded by the Chinese and Hong Kong Governments or basic research grants. With these projects, he explores the nexus of physical infrastructure, land use, and travel behaviors and how better data supply/analytics can produce new insights to advance scholarship and inform public policies.
