Jean Houssemand

Jean Houssemand serves as an Associate Lecturer at ENSA Strasbourg (University of Strasbourg) and researcher at the AMUP Research Unit, specializing in architectural theory, urban planning, and sustainable development. His work bridges academic research with professional practice as a licensed DPLG Architect and Urban Planner, focusing on innovative housing solutions and urban governance frameworks.

Education:

• DPLG Architect, Urban Planner (DESS MOPU, ENSAIS)
• Doctor of Geography, Urban Planning and Development (UBFC, 2020)

Houssemand's research centers on vertical housing development, sustainable urban forms, and housing-environment relationships. He critically examines urban governance mechanisms, land use regulations, and mobility patterns through interdisciplinary lenses combining architecture, geography, and planning. His conceptual frameworks address metropolitan housing challenges with empirical case studies like the Strasbourg Eurometropolis.

Publication trends since 2016 reveal deepening expertise in housing typologies, with recent works analyzing development permits (2022), eco-neighborhoods (2016), and metropolitan housing offers (2018). His scholarship consistently connects theoretical innovation with practical urban interventions, particularly in French metropolitan contexts.
