About Pacorient
Making sense of a changing Asia Pacific.
Economic change is part of everyday life. It shapes where businesses gather, how cities grow and what households can afford. Understanding those changes can help us make better sense of the places we live in.
Pacorient was created to make research on these questions more accessible. By bringing together public data, visual analysis and clear writing, it aims to give curious readers a way to explore Asia Pacific and form their own views.
Who we are
Founded by Weihong Wu, Pacorient is an independent research and editorial project focused on Asia Pacific. It began with a curiosity about how economies and cities work, and a desire to share what that exploration reveals through writing, maps and data visualisation.

What we explore
Pacorient explores business, economies and cities, with a particular focus on Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia. Its research looks at how these subjects connect, from the geography of business activity to differences in household income and consumption.

What guides us
Good research should make its reasoning visible. Pacorient aims to show where information comes from, explain the choices behind an analysis and acknowledge the limits of the evidence. Clear writing and visual explanation are central to making that work accessible.
