The fellowship will provide $30,000 to support Yang's research on spatial structure and transportation in China's megacities. By looking at travel demand, metropolitan spatial patterns and trends in urban expansion, Yang aims to identify changes in urban spatial structure that could help improve transportation.

Yang's research will contribute to existing knowledge of China's urban spatial development with newly constructed quantitative measures of urban spatial structure, calibrated parameters of the transportation impacts of urban spatial development, and evidence-based policy recommendations for metropolitan spatial planning in China's megacities.
