Originated as the Imperial University of Peking in 1898, Peking University was China’s first national comprehensive university and the supreme education authority at the time. Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, it has developed into a comprehensive university with fundamental education and research in both humanities and science. Peking University is a cradle of top-quality and creative students, a major source of cutting-edge science and knowledge innovation, and a key bridge for international exchange. It has six faculties, namely Humanities, Social Sciences, Economics and Management, Science, Information Technology and Engineering, as well as Health Science. It stands at the forefront of global academic research and fosters talents that lead the world to the future.

The College of Urban and Environmental Sciences (CUES), started from the establishment of the Department of Geology and Geography in 1952, is one of the leading institutions in China for teaching and research on urban and environmental issues. Currently, CUES has five departments, including the Department of Environmental Science, Department of Ecology, Department of Resource and Environmental Geography, Department of Urban and Economic Geography, and Department of Urban and Regional Planning, and two centers, including the Center for Historical Geography and the Center for Architecture. The CUES offers undergraduate, master’s and doctoral programs in various disciplines related to urban and environmental studies. One of the main research areas of the CUES is regional, urban and spatial economics. This field focuses on analyzing the spatial distribution of economic activities, resources, population, infrastructure and environment across different regions and cities. Some of the topics that researchers at the CUES explore include regional development strategies, urbanization patterns, spatial inequality, land use planning, urban governance, transportation systems, housing markets, environmental quality and public services. The CUES aims to provide academic insights and policy recommendations for addressing the challenges and opportunities facing China’s urbanization and environmental transformation. It also seeks to promote international collaboration and exchange among scholars and practitioners in this field.

The Peking University-Lincoln Institute (PLC) is a joint venture between Peking University and the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, a US-based think tank. The PLC was founded in 2007 as a non-profit educational and research institution that focuses on urban development and land policy issues in China. Some of the main research topics of the PLC include fiscal and tax systems, macro tax burden, tax structure, urban finance, local taxes, real estate taxes, land use planning, urbanization, housing policy, environmental policy and public services. The PLC also provides training programs, policy consultations, publications and demonstration projects for various stakeholders such as government officials, scholars, practitioners and students. The PLC aims to promote academic excellence and policy innovation in the fields of land and urban studies. It also seeks to foster international collaboration and exchange among researchers and policymakers from different countries.
