Inspired by Susan Fainstein’s work on The Just Cities, Yi-Ling visited University of Amsterdam to study Dutch social housing with Richard Ronald. In 2016, she was visiting the Seoul Institute in South Korea, Academia Sinica in Taiwan, and David C. Lam Institute for East-West Studies at Hong Kong Baptist University. Her research interest is about the interaction of urban planning and social change, focusing on urban social movements, particularly those concerning housing access. Her published works are on housing, gender, urban movements, and regional development in Taiwan. She is editing a book on contesting urban space in East Asia (Palgrave MacMillan) and working on a comparative study on the formation of social rental housing in East Asia, Europe and the USA.
