Hou is known for his pioneering writing on bottom-up placemaking through publications including “Insurgent Public Space: Guerrilla Urbanism and the Remaking of Contemporary Cities”.

 

The input of Jeff Hou is titled "Cities and Communities as Campus Public Space?" : Through public outreach and engagement of the real-life issues, learning in higher education in the United States is taking place not only on university campuses but also in cities and communities. Through service-learning and community engagement, courses and learning initiatives are shaping where learning is taking place and how “university campuses” are defined. They further suggest a relational turn in the way we may approach campus public space.
