Tyler Haupert is an Assistant Professor of Urban Studies at NYU Shanghai. He also serves as a Faculty Affiliate at the Shanghai Key Laboratory of Urban Design and Urban Science (LOUD), the NYU Furman Center, the NYU Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, and the Social Policy Institute at Washington University in St. Louis. Positioned at the intersection of housing and neighborhood quality in advanced economies, his research program encompasses three pillars. First, he measures financial technology’s (fintech’s) role in mediating access to homeownership and mortgage credit. Here, he focuses on whether fintech is altering or concretizing longstanding racial, ethnic, and spatial disparities. Second, he investigates the relationship between housing and neighborhood change; this work includes studies of gentrification, neighborhood population loss, and place-based housing investment incentives. Third, he explores housing as a social determinant of health, including housing’s role in exposing residents to climate risks, homeownership’s impact on physical and mental health, and housing’s role in protecting residents from health risks including homelessness and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Professor Haupert’s work has appeared in scholarly journals including Housing Policy Debate, Housing Studies, the Journal of Urban Affairs, Race and Social Problems, and Urban Studies. His work has been cited by or appeared in a number of media outlets including the New York Times, Slate, Governing, Next City, Planetizen, and Shelterforce. He has professional experience in the public education, affordable housing development, and research sectors. More information about Professor Haupert is available on his website.
