About the author

Wang Dianli is a Chinese researcher in the fields of urban governance and public policy. Publicly available information about him is limited, and his identity details and academic record have not been systematically disclosed. Judging from the four works held in the database, his writing addresses practical problems arising in China's urbanization process, covering such topics as the reform of urban public services, NIMBY conflicts and risk governance, and historic-city renewal and the production of space. His representative works, The NIMBY Dilemma: Challenges and Transformation of Urban Governance and NIMBY Governance: Scenario Identification and Response to Urban NIMBY Risks, focus on the social tensions caused by NIMBY facilities and attempt to propose identification and response approaches from a governance perspective. Toward Balanced and Sustainable Development reviews four decades of change in China's urban public services, while Historic City Renewal discusses urban revitalization from the angle of the production of space. His writing combines the analytical quality of social-science research with a first-hand feel for architectural and urban issues, making it useful reading for those concerned with urban governance and urban renewal.
