Tiebei Li

Dr Teibei Li is a Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Urban Research.

Dr Tiebei Li is an urban geographer whose research focuses on developing a spatial understanding of urban and transport systems in an urban environment. He has extensive research developing methods for urban forecasts, modelling intra-urban mobility, commuting patterns and transport costs. His research also explores interactions between transport and residential mobility and how they impact urban structure and transport changes. Over many years, Dr Li's research has gone beyond conventional geographical investigation and has enhanced the scholarly understanding of the significance of these dynamics for urban productivity theory and concepts. This research has provided new insights for governments to address fundamental problems to improve urban productivity while optimising land use and infrastructure provision. A range of Dr Li's research methods and findings has been used by governments to inform planning policy, including many citations in government reports guiding national housing, transport, and energy policy.
