The whole lab travelled to Xi'an for the 20th International Association for China Planning (IACP) Annual Conference, hosted at Chang'an University. Prof. Qiancheng Wang and our PhD students presented three talks, chaired parallel sessions, and spent the week trading ideas with urban researchers from across the world.
On 10 July 2026, the Systematic Urban Management (SUM) Lab took part in the 20th IACP Annual Conference, held this year in Xi'an under the theme "Silk Road Civilization and Dynamic Transformation: Innovating Urban–Rural Coordination for High-Quality Development." Under the guidance of Prof. Qiancheng Wang, the lab's PhD students shared their research, and Zhaorong Feng and Yuefu Liu each chaired a parallel session.
Beyond presenting their own work, the team took the chance to hear how planning scholars from China and abroad are approaching health, equity, and the built environment, exchanging ideas with peers along the way — in short, a rewarding week.
