BING-YU CHIU
Research Fellow, Japan Transport and Tourism Research Institute (JTTRI)
Bing-yu Chiu, PhD, is a Research Fellow at the Japan Transport and Tourism Research Institute (JTTRI) in Tokyo, Japan. His research seeks to understand the relationship between transportation infrastructure investments, economic development, travel behaviour, and sustainability.
Prior to joining JTTRI, he worked in Taiwan as a planning and infrastructure consultant, a legislative assistant contributing to legal amendment efforts for urban regeneration and affordable housing, a mayoral aide providing advice on public transit improvements as well as a columnist. He also interned at ICLEI and IGES, two environmental non-governmental organisations in South Korea and Japan, where he was involved in a car-free neighbourhood project and co-benefits policy research.
He is a (co-)author of two books in English and Chinese. One of his books collects international best practice case studies of sustainable urbanism in the hope of inspiring the Taiwanese audience. The other, Going Green: Experiencing the Ecomobile Lifestyle, was an English-language publication which he co-authored with Germany-based Konrad Otto-Zimmermann to document the car-free neighbourhood project EcoMobility World Festival 2017 in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
He holds a PhD in City and Regional Planning from the University of Pennsylvania, USA, where he was advised by Prof. Erick Guerra.
