About
Jili Xu is a rising scholar in urban and regional economics, with a focus on the intersection of technological infrastructure and industrial development. Her research centers on how new infrastructure—such as 5G networks, big data centers, and ultra-high voltage systems—shapes the spatial and industrial dynamics of emerging industries in Chinese cities. In her most cited work, "Spatial-temporally and industrially heterogeneous effects of new infrastructure construction on fostering emerging industries in Chinese cities" (2023, 9 citations), Xu provides a nuanced analysis of how the impacts of new infrastructure vary across time, space, and industrial sectors. This study has been recognized for its timely contribution to policy debates on smart city development and industrial upgrading. Xu’s work is notable for its rigorous empirical methods and its ability to bridge theoretical insights with practical implications for urban planners and policymakers. As a researcher at the forefront of understanding how digital and green infrastructure can drive economic transformation, Xu is establishing herself as a key voice in the evolving discourse on sustainable urban growth and industrial innovation.
