Sylvy Jaglin

Sylvy Jaglin is a University Professor at Gustave Eiffel University, based at the Paris School of Urban Planning and the LATTS research laboratory (UMR CNRS 8134). She serves as Head of the M2 Urban Planning and International Expertise Course (Urban Planning and Cities of the South Option) and is actively engaged in research coordination as co-facilitator of the Transversal Group City & Energy of the LABEX Futurs Urbains and co-coordinator of the ANR Hybridelec project.

Her research specializes in networked services within cities of the Global South, particularly sub-Saharan Africa, employing comparative socio-technical analysis of urban change. Key research axes include:

• Management and regulation of urban networked services, addressing socio-spatial fragmentation, privatization dynamics, poverty, and access to essential services
• Technical governance of developing cities, examining policy contestations, decentralization in water management, and multi-level energy governance structures
• Infrastructure transitions amid economic emergence, focusing on urban challenges of energy transitions, off-grid electrification, and Base of Pyramid (BoP) market innovations

Professor Jaglin's work bridges academic research with practical urban challenges in the Global South through collaborative projects and international expertise development. She maintains active institutional presence at École des Ponts ParisTech (Cité Descartes campus) and can be contacted via email at sylvy.jaglin@univ-eiffel.fr.
