Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Mi Shih is an Associate Professor and Program Director in the Urban Planning and Policy Development Program at the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University. Her research centers on the intersection of the politics of land development, the state's engagement in financial and regulatory techniques of governance, democratic participation, and urban spatial-economic transformation. She employs a mixed-methods approach. Her recent research focuses on how various urban land development instruments, such as land readjustment, air rights tools, and density bonusing, enable the state to expand the private real estate property market while simultaneously deepening its governance in several key areas, such as social housing provision and experimentation, infrastructure repair and building, and the legitimization of the developmental agenda in Taiwan.
