Dr. Yedong Chen received his Ph.D. in Municipal Engineering from the China University of Mining and Technology in 2024. His doctoral research, supervised by Prof. Jiang Chang, focused on land use layout optimization and regulatory strategies for coal resource-based cities under the framework of spatial compactness. He also holds a Master’s degree in Landscape Architecture from Shandong Jianzhu University and a Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Design from Shandong Agricultural University.

Dr. Chen has published over 20 academic papers in both Chinese and international journals, such as Land, Remote Sensing, and Environmental Monitoring and Assessment. His research spans urban renewal, ecological restoration, urban spatial morphology, and compact city theory, with a particular emphasis on shrinking and post-industrial cities. He has led or contributed to several major planning and research projects across Shanxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, and Shandong provinces.

He has presented his work at leading conferences, including the China Urban Planning Annual Conference and the International Conference on Energy, Resources, Environment, and Sustainable Development. He is a recipient of several awards, including the Best Paper Presentation Award and multiple honors for outstanding academic performance and thesis quality.
