I founded the workshop Le Vent se lève ! in 2022, which promotes radical ecology and combative urban planning through projects that seek to trace the origins of democratic, social, and environmental crises. I support citizen collectives fighting unnecessary or imposed projects or controversial development operations, working with them to devise alternatives and counter-projects that are more in tune with the challenges of our time. 

My work takes a critical view of current development models, which may also include what is known as the "ecological transition", a concept which, in my opinion, is now being appropriated by capitalism as it seeks to reinvent itself once again. I aim to shift perspectives and renew our approach to urban planning by collaborating with invisible communities and exploring innovative tools and methods of intervention that address issues of concrete utopias and new imaginaries.

That our discipline is deeply political! We tend to forget it, but urban planning is undoubtedly one of the disciplines most central to public policy, as it has concrete consequences for transforming our world and people's lives. We are going through unprecedented crises, particularly in France, where all desirable horizons now seem to be stalling in the face of a rigid capitalism. By having the courage to repoliticise our professions and finally agreeing to support bottom-up public action, we would undoubtedly contribute more to increasing pressure on the political world and bringing about change. The Urban School is an institution that can provide students with this critical perspective.
