About Shakil Kashem

My research interests center on urban social vulnerability, community resilience, and geospatial analysis. I am interested in exploring how plans and policies influence socially vulnerable populations and in identifying ways to ensure just and equitable outcomes. I have keen interests in GIScience and its applications in urban planning.
