Marie Chabrol

Marie Chabrol is a Lecturer at the University of Picardie Jules Verne (Amiens), specializing in social geography with research intersecting urban studies, migration studies, and poverty/precarity dynamics.

She holds a PhD in Social Geography focused on gentrification in a Paris neighborhood marked by African immigration. Her foundational work examined European metropolis transformations through multidisciplinary projects analyzing migration and gentrification impacts on working-class and immigrant communities.

Current research investigates tensions between 'solidarity city' and 'exclusive city' dynamics, particularly through the ANR-funded THERMAPOLIS program (2021-2025). This project analyzes water insecurity and public shower access to reveal urban inequalities, while additional collective research explores public infrastructure promises and failures in producing urban inclusion/exclusion.

As THERMAPOLIS coordinator, she leads a multidisciplinary team studying how marginalized populations navigate urban services, with findings contributing to equitable city planning frameworks that address gentrification pressures and migration-related precarity.
