Project Description
Dr. Siyu Yu is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning and a core faculty member with the Hazard Reduction and Recovery Center at Texas A&M University. Her experience spans land use, plan integration, and resilience issues in the United States, principally in the Gulf Coast region, as well as internationally in the Netherlands and Japan. Much of Dr. Yu’s current research focuses on the development, application, and extension of the Plan Integration for Resilience Scorecard™ (PIRS) evaluation methodology. She aims to increase multi-hazard resilience and social equity in an era of climate change by investigating relationships among community networks of land use and development plans and policies vis-à-vis social and physical vulnerability to natural hazards. Her research has been funded by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the National Science Foundation, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and has been published in the Journal of the American Planning Association, Journal of Planning Education and Research, Landscape and Urban Planning, and Sustainable Cities and Society, among others. Before arriving at Texas A&M, Yu worked as a Senior Urban Planner at the Urban Planning and Design Institute of Shenzhen, China. She holds a Master of Urban Planning and Design from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China, an M.S. in Sustainable Design/Architecture from the University of Florida, and a Ph.D. in Urban and Regional Science from Texas A&M University and is certified by the American Institute of Certified Planners.
