Rate My Professor Jenny Cui

Dr. Jenny Cui serves as Senior Lecturer in Urban Planning within the School of Engineering and Built Environment at Griffith University, located on the Nathan Campus. Her research specializations encompass urban planning and design, transport policy and planning, transport economics, active travel, and urban underground space. She possesses expertise in urban and regional planning and design, land use and spatial planning, built environment and health, transport planning and policy, environment and behaviour, as well as planning, design, and utilisation of urban underground space. Previously, she held a research fellow position supported by Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads funding, contributing to projects on planning transport in Australian cities as part of ARC impact studies.

Dr. Cui's scholarly impact is evidenced by her Google Scholar h-index of 29 and recognition as one of the World's Top 2% of Scientists by Stanford University for 2023, 2024, and 2025. Key publications include 'Harassment on public transport and its impacts on women’s travel behaviour' (Australian Planner, 2017, 258 citations), 'Underground space utilisation for urban renewal' (Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology, 2021, 227 citations), 'Planning for urban freight transport: An overview' (Transport Reviews, 2015, 207 citations), 'Metro systems and urban development: Impacts and implications' (Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology, 2022, 164 citations), 'Underground transport: An overview' (Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology, 2019, 163 citations), 'Exploring non-linear and synergistic effects of green spaces on active travel using crowdsourced data and interpretable machine learning' (Travel Behaviour and Society, 2024, 156 citations), and 'Transport and mobility needs for an ageing society from a policy perspective: Review and implications' (International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2021, 151 citations). She teaches courses such as Urban Data Analytics (7017ENG), Transport Planning (7087ENV), and first-year design studios. Dr. Cui contributes to the field as an editorial board member for Transportation Planning and Technology and through supervision of higher degree research students. Her work influences urban policy, transport modelling, and sustainable development practices.
