About
Ying Long is a leading urban scientist whose research lies at the intersection of urban studies, spatial planning, and emerging technologies. His work explores how disruptive innovations—including big data, artificial intelligence, mobile internet, and the Internet of Things—are reshaping cities and urban practice. In his highly cited 2023 paper, "Promoting Urban Studies and Practice with Emerging Technologies: City Laboratory, New City, and Future City Exploration," Long argues that the Fourth Industrial Revolution is fundamentally transforming how we understand, design, and manage urban environments. He introduces conceptual frameworks such as the "City Laboratory" and "Future City" to guide this transformation, bridging theoretical urban scholarship with practical, tech-driven interventions. With over 7 citations already, this work signals his growing influence in shaping the discourse on smart and future cities. Long’s research is notable for its forward-looking synthesis of technology and urbanism, offering a roadmap for scholars and practitioners alike. His contributions are particularly valuable for students and researchers interested in how AI, VR/AR, and IoT can be harnessed to create more responsive, sustainable, and intelligent urban systems.
