Lise Bourdeau-Lepage is professor of geography at the Université Lyon‑3 Jean Moulin. She is a member of the “Environnement, Ville, Société” mixed research unit (CRGA – Centre de recherches en géographie et aménagement). Her research in urban geography and urban economics takes an interdisciplinary approach to the study of urban recomposition and growth processes (urban forms, residential patterns, urban sprawl, megacity formation and sociospatial segregation) and metropolization (including the role of cities in the world and in history) in conjunction with the issue of sustainable development. Her current work focuses on sociospatial inequalities in the city, Greater Paris, the measurement of individuals’ well-being and the role of nature in the city.
