Dr Tammy Kit Ping Wong

Tammy Kit Ping Wong is a researcher in urban and geography studies, currently a Visiting Research Fellow at the Urban Resilience Research Centre, Osaka Metropolitan University. Her research focuses on critical urban theory, territory and state theory, and the politics of everyday life. She obtained her PhD in Urban Sociology from ETH Zurich in 2017. At FCL Singapore, she conducted research on Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and Dongguan, focusing on urbanisation processes in comparative perspective and extended urbanisation. Grounded in intensive fieldwork across these three cities, she has contributed to comparative urban research by developing new theoretical categories within a collective global urban project. Her postdoctoral research has contributed to the study of extended urbanisation, investigating the relationship between territory and urbanisation to reshape understandings of state space and its contradictions in Dongguan. Her current project, Potentialities of Marginal Urbanism, explores the politics of everyday life in Hong Kong as migrant residents inhabit and reshape urban landscapes through informal trade networks, mobile appropriations of urban space, and provisional social networks.
