Acerca del autor

Nadine Cattan is research director in geography at the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS). She was previously director of a unit on territorial indicators and statistics at the OECD. She has also chaired an expert group on gateways at the DATAR, the French government’s regional development planning agency. Her main research interests aim to understand how mobilities are likely to modify society’s relationships to space and so lead to a reinterpretation of spatial concepts and theories. She has provided a critical overview on the issues of polycentrism and spatial integration in Europe. She has also developed spatial models to explain how metropolitan areas are being transformed. Her current research integrates gender to understand how genders contribute to reshaping territorialities and urban space. Her published works include: Cities and networks in Europe. A critical approach of polycentrism (2007) and Atlas mondial des sexualités. Libertés, plaisirs et interdits (2016).

He is a member of the LMI MESO, an international collaborative program between France, Mexico, and Central American countries. His research interests include: the evolution of international migration dynamics and the related territorial and political transformations; the urban dynamics resulting from transit movements and settlement of mobile populations; and the production of transnational mobility spaces and their effects on the dynamics of development in the Global South, at different scales. He is the author or editor of various books on these themes, such as Migrant Protection and the City in the Americas (2021), Les circulations transnationales. Lire les turbulences migratoires contemporaines (2009), Migrants des Suds (2009), and Les territoires de la mobilité.
