The Voice of America profiles Junhan Tan, an urban planning and cinema student from Singapore studying at USC.
"On the one hand, [Junhan Tan] is concentrating on urban planning and design. 'I was first drawn to urban planning because I had always been interested in architecture,' he recalls, 'but I believe that urban planning allows me to explore more of the ideas concerning bigger geographic space. And it goes beyond just architecture...also dealing with urban issues and human geography, which I have always been interested in.' "
