Wenfei Xu is an Assistant Professor in the Department of City and Regional Planning at Cornell University's College of Architecture, Art, and Planning, and Director of the Urban Data Research Lab. Her work bridges GIScience, Urban Data Science, and Social-Spatial Analysis to examine housing policies and urban inequality.
- Education: Ph.D. in Urban Planning (Columbia University), Dual M.Arch and MCP (MIT), B.A. in Economics (University of Chicago)
Research focuses on:
- Spatial-temporal impacts of historical housing discrimination (redlining, urban renewal) using GIScience
- Novel applications of big spatial data (mobile phone data, satellite imagery) to analyze segregation, neighborhood diversity, and human activity patterns
- Development of computational frameworks for equitable urban policy
Recent research trends include:
- Statistical rigor in unstructured data analysis
- Temporal dynamics of urban environments
- Comparative housing policy across U.S. regions
- Russell Sage Foundation Grant (2023) for FHA mortgage insurance studies
- Cornell CCSS Grant (2022) for segregation mapping innovations
The Urban Data Research Lab, under her leadership, integrates:
- PhD/Master's students in Regional Science, City Planning, and Architecture
- Collaborations with HKUST and the Washington Center for Equitable Growth
- Technical expertise in GIS, machine learning, and spatial statistics
