Milan Bonté is a Lecturer in Urban Planning at the University of Lille and affiliated with ULR TVES, a research unit focusing on environmental and societal transitions. His work bridges urban planning, geography, and social justice, with a strong emphasis on marginalized communities and spatial equity.
His research explores the interplay between territorial peripheralization—encompassing political abandonment, economic decline, and stigmatization—and the social marginalization of individuals and groups. This includes examining how structural inequalities shape access to public spaces and mobility, particularly for trans and LGBTI populations. His doctoral work investigated trans people's experiences in public spaces across Paris, Rennes, and London, and he has since extended this to study mobility strategies of LGBTI individuals in the French Ardennes, analyzing resistance and adaptation to regional marginalization.
In teaching, he focuses on digital and cartographic tools for land use planning, emphasizing participatory methods. He also covers regulatory urban planning, especially in relation to heritage and cultural planning. One of his key courses, Geography of Gender and Sexualities, engages students with Anglophone and Francophone scholarship on gender, space, and sexuality, covering topics such as spatial practices, domestic labor, rural and urban dynamics, migration, and research ethics.
While no specific scientific awards or publications are listed in the provided material, his academic profile reflects a strong commitment to critical urban studies and social inclusion.
