Urban AI • Equity • Mobility

Designing data-driven tools for fairer urban futures.

I am Xuanyu Zhou, recently graduated from Zhejiang University with a degree in Urban and Rural Planning, and a former exchange student at UC Berkeley CED. I will join the University of Pennsylvania Master of City Planning program in Fall 2026. My work brings together urban equity, mobility, resilience, remote sensing, and machine learning, with a growing interest in how LLMs and Urban AI can support planning practice.

  • fig.c resilience & health — geospatial ML connecting urban form with post-pandemic recovery, vitality & public health
