About
Ning Gu is a rising scholar at the forefront of sustainable construction and circular economy research, with a focus on how digital innovation and collaborative consumption can transform the built environment. Her work critically examines the sharing economy as a paradigm shift in resource management, systematically identifying underused assets and processes that can drive circularity in construction. In her highly cited 2023 review (35 citations), Gu developed a comprehensive research framework for the sharing economy, mapping its potential to support a more circular and sustainable future. She has since extended this work to investigate the integration of Industry 4.0 technologies—such as IoT, AI, and automation—into transportation infrastructure projects, showing how these tools can enhance environmental, social, and economic sustainability (2024, 30 citations). Her most recent contribution (2025) explores specific shareable resources within the construction industry, offering practical pathways toward circularity. With a growing citation record and a clear trajectory from conceptual framing to applied solutions, Ning Gu is establishing herself as a key voice in the intersection of digitalization, sharing economy practices, and sustainable infrastructure development.
