About the Author: Ms. WANG Fang (1973-) is Associate Professor in College of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, Peking University and a registered urban planner. After receiving a Ph.D. in Architectural Design and Theory from Tsinghua University, WANG completed her postdoctoral research in geography, with a concentration in urban planning, at Peking University. From 2011 to 2012 Dr. WANG was a visiting scholar at Harvard University Graduate School of Design. She is a member of the Chinese Academy of City Planning, Chinese Geographical Society, and Chinese Architectural Society. Her research introduces geographical philosophy, methods and techniques into the traditionally engineering-dominated fields of urban planning and architectural design. Her focus is also known as "geographical planning and design"--research on the influence of geography upon urban planning and design and, reflexively, urban planning and design responses to geography. Her research field bases on the protection and renewal of cultural landscape and historical district. Dr. WANG has published over 60 articles and 2 books and has translated a total of 8 books. She has piloted a China Natural Science Foundation project (NSFC, No. 51078003) and 6 other projects of provincial and ministry-level funding.

He co-founded the Journal of Landscape Architecture (JoLA) in 2006 and was an editor for it until 2010.
