He also serves as a member of the Urban Planning Commission of the Ministry of the Interior, a core member of the Ministry of Education\u2019s Learning City Initiative, and an expert board member of Taiwan International Ports Corporation. He is one of Taiwan\u2019s few urban scholars who combine a global academic perspective with extensive experience in both central and local government and a proven capacity for cross-sector policy practice.<br \/>\nDr. Yu received his Ph.D. in Geography from the University of Cambridge under the supervision of internationally renowned urban geographer Professor Ash Amin. He also earned an MSc with Distinction in Regional and Urban Planning Studies from the London School of Economics and Political Science. Spanning political science, urban planning, and human geography, his research encompasses urban regeneration, infrastructure and megaprojects, smart governance, emotional geography, and the net-zero transition, reflecting a highly integrated and forward-looking approach to urban studies.<br \/>\nTaking waterfront regeneration in Kaohsiung and the transformation of Asian industrial cities as his points of departure, Dr. Yu moves beyond conventional frameworks dominated by European and North American urban experiences. Through innovative concepts such as \u201caffective atmospheres\u201d and \u201cperformative planning,\u201d he examines the complex relationships among public infrastructure, urban visions, and urban society. This distinctive perspective has established a strong scholarly profile at the intersection of urban governance and emotional geography. His research has appeared in leading international journals, including Geoforum, Landscape Research, International Planning Studies, and Emotion, Space and Society. He is also an elected Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and a member of Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research Honor Society.<br \/>\nBefore entering academia, Dr. Yu held senior positions in both local and central government, including Chief Secretary of the Urban Development Bureau and Deputy Secretary-General of Kaohsiung City Government, as well as Director of the Office of the Secretary-General at the Presidential Office. His extensive involvement in urban infrastructure and planning, major policy formulation, and interdepartmental governance enables him to bridge academic theory and policy practice with rare insight. As a result, his research offers not only theoretical depth but also practical relevance to the real-world challenges of urban and regional development.<br \/>\nDr. Yu believes that outstanding urban research should not merely analyze and explain cities, but also open up new possibilities for their future. Through his research and teaching, he continues to advance more inclusive, innovative, resilient, and publicly oriented approaches to governance while cultivating a new generation of urban professionals equipped with global perspectives, interdisciplinary thinking, and the capacity to translate knowledge into meaningful public action.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><b>Education<\/b><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"91\" data-end=\"152\">Ph.D., Department of Geography, University of Cambridge, UK<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"155\" data-end=\"245\">M.Sc., Regional and Urban Planning, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"248\" data-end=\"353\">B.A., Department of Political Science (Public Administration Division), National Taiwan University, TWN<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Specialties<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"373\" data-end=\"406\">Urban Planning and Regeneration<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"409\" data-end=\"441\">Infrastructure and Megaproject<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"444\" data-end=\"484\">Urban Governance and Policy Innovation<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"487\" data-end=\"520\">Smart City and Smart Governance<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"523\" data-end=\"544\">Emotional Geography<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"523\" data-end=\"544\"><strong>Experiences<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"564\" data-end=\"663\">2024 ~ Commissioner, Project Review Committee, Kaohsiung City Government Bureau of Transportation<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"666\" data-end=\"766\">2024 ~ Commissioner, Project Review Committee, Kaohsiung City Government Mass Rapid Transit Bureau<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"769\" data-end=\"866\">2024 ~ Commissioner, Digital Application Promotion Advisory Committee, Chiayi County Government<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"869\" data-end=\"982\">2024\u20132025 Associate Professor, Graduate Institute of Public Affairs Management, National Sun Yat-sen University<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"985\" data-end=\"1095\">2023\u20132025 Director of Operations, Carbon Credit Research and Service Center, National Sun Yat-sen University<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1098\" data-end=\"1212\">2022 ~ Committee Member, International Affairs Committee, Geographical Society of the Republic of China (Taiwan)<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1215\" data-end=\"1304\">2022 ~ Project Reviewer, Ministry of Science and Technology, Division of Sustainability<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1307\" data-end=\"1377\">2021 ~ Executive Director, Taiwan Association of Development Studies<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1380\" data-end=\"1468\">2021 ~ President, Taiwan Digital Financial Transaction and Data Protection Association<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1471\" data-end=\"1549\">2021 ~ Invited Lecturer, Kaohsiung City Government Talent Development Center<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1552\" data-end=\"1620\">2020 ~ Invited Lecturer, National Academy for Educational Research<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1623\" data-end=\"1683\">2020 ~ Invited Lecturer, National Academy of Civil Service<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1686\" data-end=\"1799\">2020\u20132024 Assistant Professor, Graduate Institute of Public Affairs Management, National Sun Yat-sen University<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1802\" data-end=\"1880\">2018\u20132020 Director, Office of the Secretary-General, Office of the President<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1883\" data-end=\"1943\">2018 ~ Invited Lecturer, National Academy of Civil Service<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1946\" data-end=\"2006\">2018 ~ Deputy Secretary-General, Kaohsiung City Government<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2009\" data-end=\"2092\">2012\u20132018 Chief Secretary, Bureau of Urban Development, Kaohsiung City Government<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2095\" data-end=\"2177\">2006\u20132012 Confidential Secretary, Office of the Mayor, Kaohsiung City Government<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Courses<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"2193\" data-end=\"2242\">Urban Political Economy and Planning Strategies<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2245\" data-end=\"2285\">Urbanization and Global Climate Change<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2288\" data-end=\"2359\">Urban and Regional Development Planning and Implementation Strategies<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Contacts<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"2376\" data-end=\"2405\">Tel: +886-2-86741111 #67363<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2408\" data-end=\"2435\">Email: <a class=\"decorated-link cursor-pointer\" rel=\"noopener\" data-start=\"2415\" data-end=\"2433\">yusangju@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"2408\" data-end=\"2435\"><strong>Resume and Publications<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"2437\" data-end=\"2487\">2025 Yu Sang Ju CV<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Associate Professor<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8127,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[],"portfolio_entries":[84,101],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.6 -
