	RESUME (English version/ version française)   PhD in Economics, Ensae graduate (MSc in Economics and in Statistics) and MA in Geography, I focus my work on cities. How they are connected to their regional and global environment, and how they are shaped. I have also worked at the Insee (French Institute for Statistics and Economic studies) on the greater Paris area. I also worked at the French Department of Treasury on the motives and the financing of Urban Planning and Housing policy in France.
	WORKING PAPERS and PUBLICATIONS (click here) My PhD Thesis deals with "location choice of the firms and urban sprawl" (see the Abstract). Otherwise, you will find empirical as well as theoretical works, mostly urban. - on Greater Paris, - on theoretical approach of the links between industrial economics and the organisation of the cities - on housing - also a bit of epistemology - (to be continued) : urban studies on historical Geography
	MISCELLANEOUS (click here) Some side activities I can also find on my agenda. Among them, I take a part in the Ensae alumni association (conferences on economical or political topics).
	LINKS (click here) I tried to gather a huge panorama of the websites dealing with the cities.
