Dear Colleagues,
I am very pleased to announce that I have appointed Weiping Wu, Professor of Urban Planning, to serve as Vice Provost for Academic Programs effective September 1.
A renowned urban and planning scholar with a focus on the Global South and China, Professor Wu came to Columbia in 2016 from Tufts University, where she was chair of the Department of Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning. She is the author and editor of nine books as well as many articles on issues of housing, infrastructure, and migration in China’s cities.
