Han Wang is a Doctoral Student in Architecture at Columbia GSAPP. His research focuses on twentieth-century East Asian urban history, particularly Shanghai during the Second World War. Drawing on media studies and comparative approaches, he examines the relationships among urban planning, spatial production, and imperial networks.

His master’s research examined the mechanisms through which urban plans were implemented in Japanese-occupied Shanghai, as well as the intellectual and administrative networks connecting architects, technical experts, and bureaucratic institutions. He also studied historic neighborhoods in Hongkou to investigate urban development and spatial transformation in early twentieth-century Shanghai.

Han holds a master’s degree in architecture from Tongji University, where he specialized in architectural history and theory, and a second master’s degree in architecture from Osaka University through a dual-degree program. He received his bachelor’s degree in Wood Science and Engineering from Northwest A&F University.
