The 45th Public Forum for Engineering Management will focus on " Urban Management: Developing Sustainable, Resilient, and Equitable Cities" and will take place on Sep 18th, 2024, from 20:00-21:30 pm (CST) via Tencent Meeting (ID: 692 365 908, Code: 0918). The forum is organized by the Frontiers of Engineering Management and the School of Management at Huazhong University of Science and Technology.
Weiqiang Chen, professor of Urban and Industrial Sustainability at the Institute of Urban Environment, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), will host the forum, and we have invited two experts in the field to share their research on this important topic: Wangtu Xu, the head and professor with the Department of Urban Planning, Xiamen University, Xiaohang Ren, associate professor in the School of Business, Central South University.
We welcome all teachers and students who are interested in this subject to join us for what promises to be an informative and engaging event.

Introduction of Keynote Speakers
Wangtu (Ato) Xu is the head and professor with the Department of Urban Planning of Xiamen University.
He has long been dedicated to research and work in the fields of transportation information (big data direction), transportation engineering, road and railway engineering, and transportation planning and management. As of August 2024, he has published over 100 high-level papers as the first or corresponding author in top journals such as CEE, TRA/C/D/E, JTRG, TITS, Cties, etc; He has also led 11 important research projects as PIs at or above the provincial and ministerial level, including key projects funded by the National Social Science Fund and natural science foundation projects; In addition, he has won multiple provincial and ministerial level awards, including the second and third prizes for scientific and technological progress in Fujian Province, the third prize for outstanding achievements in social sciences in Fujian Province, and the third prize for scientific and technological progress in Xiamen City, as a host and technical leader (ranked among the top 2); He also edited 6 national and provincial local standard projects, achieving over 20 million yuan in achievement transformation; In terms of social services, he founded the Fujian Civil Engineering and Construction Industry Association in 2018, which received research and praise from the Party Group of the All China Federation of Industry and Commerce. In 2020, the association was awarded the title of Xiamen Worker Pioneer.
Earlier activity space studies explored the associations between people and place. They suggested that factors including gender, socioeconomic status and race have great impacts on activity spaces. Many researchers had paid more attention to the measurement of the size, geometry so as to describe human mobility patterns.
Recently, advances in geospatial technologies enable us to obtain large volumes of georeferenced data about human beings from various mobile terminals and Global Positioning System. Those data provide abundant temporal and spatial information to model the movements of people which can facilitate activity space studies.
This study takes Xiamen and Wuhan as case studies, and uses multi-source travel data from these two cities, including taxi and bus card swiping data, urban rail transit card swiping data, and pedestrian grid data, to construct urban vitality spaces. By mapping multi-source big data onto a complex network and using the structural feature theory of the network, the distribution and movement characteristics of different dynamic spaces (living circles) are monitored and used to evaluate the advantages of relevant urban planning schemes.
Future research will use tools such as graph neural networks to deeply model and analyze network analysis methods and spatial interaction information, and deepen the impact of research results.
Xiaohang Ren, Ph.D., is an associate professor in the School of Business, Central South University. His research interests include green finance, energy finance, financial econometrics and environmental economics. He has published more than 100 papers in journals such as Journal of the American Statistical Association, Transportation Research Part A, Energy Economics, Quantitative Finance, Review of Quantitative Finance and Accounting, Journal of Environmental Management, Renewable & Sustainable Energy Review, Applied Energy, etc. He is the Elsevier Highly Cited Chinese Researcher, and serves as associate editor/editor board/guest editor for several SCI/SSCI journals.
Resource-based cities are currently facing challenges due to ecological pollution and an unbalanced industrial structure, which hinders sustainable economic growth. The focus on green development as a strategy for economic growth and environmental protection is becoming increasingly popular. This study employs a spatial econometric model to explore the effect of green development on economic resilience in Chinese resource-based cities from 2011 to 2019, revealing a positive correlation between green development and economic resilience. For each 1 unit increase in green development, economic resilience increases by an average of 0.512 units. Furthermore, the analysis of heterogeneity reveals differences in the factors influencing various resource-based cities. In addition, provincial green policies bolster economic resilience by encouraging green development. This research aids in comprehending the balance between the economy and the environment.
