Jean-Paul Addie
Associate Professor Urban Studies Institute- Biography
Jean-Paul Addie is a critical urban geographer principally concerned with understanding the production, governance, and experience of regional urbanization. Drawing on a dialectical approach to the urban process under capitalism, his research focuses on the politics of urban infrastructure – the material elements and social relations that facilitate urbanization and foster distinct modes of urbanism – to address questions of access, mobility, and social justice. Jean-Paul has conducted qualitative comparative analysis on a range of interdisciplinary topics including university urbanism, transportation governance, suburbanization, city-regionalism, neoliberal urban policy, local democracy, and socio-spatial theory. His research has received funding from the European Commission, the British Council, and the Ontario Ministry of Training, College, and Universities and has been published in international journals including IJURR, Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Environment and Planning A, Regional Studies, and CITY.
Jean-Paul’s current research focuses on rethinking the urban university in the context of global urbanization. The project Situating the New Urban University examines how universities are adapting their institutional structures, pedagogies, and spatial strategies in response to the changing dynamics of contemporary urban society.
Prior to joining the Urban Studies Institute, Jean-Paul was a Marie Curie Fellow in the Department of Geography at University College London, and Provost Fellow and Lecturer in UCL’s Department of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Public Policy. He is a Visiting Fellow at the UCL City Leadership Lab and holds degrees in geography from York University, Miami University, and the University of Dundee.
