Who this is
About

Min Park is an urban policy researcher. She studies how planning systems, land governance and the built environment shape who can access, use and benefit from the city.
Trained first as an architect and then as a city planner, she works between spatial analysis and policy research. Her research combines comparative policy analysis, GIS, interviews, archival research and quantitative frameworks to examine how institutional decisions become spatial conditions.
Recent work includes an international case study of green belt governance, research on publicness in privately owned public spaces in London and Seoul, and policy research on UK planning reform for Korean public institutions.
Her work has been presented to and commissioned by organisations including C40 Cities, the Urban Frontiers Foundation, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT), Korea Land & Housing Corporation (LH) and the Korea Research Institute for Human Settlements (KRIHS).
She is co-founder and art director of MPLAN Magazine, an independent planning publication founded out of the Bartlett and now in its second issue.
She holds a Master of City Planning from University College London and a Bachelor of Architecture from Yonsei University.
Based in London, with roots in Seoul.
I am always interested in exchanging ideas with researchers, policymakers and practitioners working on urban change. For research collaborations, speaking invitations, policy work or simply to discuss an urban question, please get in touch.
