Kean Fan Lim is an economic geographer who explores the dynamic processes of urban & regional development.

Vision + approach

I believe the ‘economy’ can and must be understood through geography. How economic processes are shaped through specific spatial configurations - municipal, rural, regional, national, global - directly determine developmental outcomes. Ascertaining, mapping, explaining and evaluating this dynamic relationship comprise the four pillars of my research and teaching.

Amazing mentors & collaborators have enabled me to produce high quality research I am proud of.
