Summary
Marie Gibert-Flutre is a professor of geography and urban studies based in Paris, holding a PhD and an HDR with nine years of post-PhD academic experience focused on public spaces, street form, and place-making in Southeast and Pacific Asia. Her research blends ethnographic fieldwork, typomorphological analysis, and netnography to interrogate how everyday urban practices and informal interventions shape metropolitan transformations, notably through long-term study of Ho Chi Minh City’s alley networks. She has held positions at Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, Université Paris Cité, and the Asia Research Institute at NUS, where she organized international conferences and helped launch collaborative neighborhood research initiatives. Marie combines regional expertise in Vietnam and East–Southeast Asia with thematic interests in governmentality, urban governance, and platform urbanism, supervising Vietnamese studies programs and master’s curricula. An editor and committee member for several geography journals, she bridges rigorous scholarship with applied urbanism, bringing archival and field-based depth to debates on informal urban resistances and metropolitan planning. Unusually for a geographer trained in French grandes écoles, she pairs classical humanities formation with sustained on-the-ground engagement in postcolonial urban infrastructures.
