Lecture: Reshaping Marseille territory and real estate opportunities through culture

Reshaping Marseille territory and real estate opportunities through culture

Description:

Mathilde Vignau, PhD in geography and associate geographer at ESPI in Marseille in France, has written a thesis on the emergence of a creative geography in the southeastern part of France. In her current research, she is focusing on what the effective links are between culture and real estate, in the second French city in term of inhabitants, i.e., Marseille. In this open seminar, Mathilde will share her research and experience trying to explain how cultural and creative activities, industries and above all, places, have reshaped this city – especially its center – and have created new real estate opportunities despite some socio-economic drawbacks. Her aim is to assess Marseille’s territorial development through culture and creativity by mobilizing a theoretical frame of critical geography.
