Elsa Gallez

I am a geographer and urban planner, currently PhD candidate at the Geography Department and Sociology Department, affiliated to the Cosmopolis Centre for Urban Research, Cartography and GIS, and BRISPO research groups. I hold a Msc in Urban Environmental Management (WUR, NL) and a Bsc in Geography (University of Namur, BE). 

My main research interest is the study of socio-environmental inequities in cities. Aware of the complexity and paradoxes of urban environmental justice issues, I dedicate my research to the exploration of effective levers - in the fields of land policy and green infrastructures - aimed at providing a more equitable access to green amenities. 

As a PhD candidate, I am analyzing the spatial patterns of access, use and exposure to, green and blue infrastructures within and around primary schools in the Brussels-Capital Region, and beyond (Rotterdam, Paris and Barcelona).
