Manon Espinasse

Manon Espinasse (1995) is a certified architect and urban planner, currently pursuing a PhD in architecture and land use planning.
She graduated from ENSA Bordeaux in 2019 with a master's degree in research (bachelor's degree from ENSA Paris La Villette) and is currently pursuing a master's degree in urban planning at IATU (Bordeaux Montaigne) from 2019 to 2021.

She is interested in the relationship between transport infrastructure and territories. The master's degree in architecture (2017-2019) raises questions about the evolution of motorway infrastructure. The master's degree in urban planning, undertaken as an apprenticeship in the Bordeaux Métropole community, involves reflections on the long-term nature of land use planning, within the framework of a European project on tools for managing UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Since 2022, she has been preparing a doctoral thesis under joint supervision at the LVMT (Laboratoire Ville Mobilité Transport) and the OCS (Observatoire de la condition suburbaine), in CIFRE at Bordeaux Métropole, entitled: From highway landscapes to the emergence of project territories. At the same time, she carries out occasional teaching activities on the theme of public policy and infrastructure from the perspective of planning and architecture.
