Atlas Scholarships 2026 Awardee

 

Armelle Ninnin is an architect and urban planner with a Ph.D. in Urban Planning ; she is an associate member of the IPRAUS laboratory (Paris Institute for Research in Architecture, Urban Planning, and Society). Her doctoral research analyzes the tensions between heritage preservation and urban development in the context of the inscription of historic cities in Southeast Asia on the UNESCO World Heritage List. By intersecting the fields of urban geography and heritage studies, she examines the reciprocal effects of these two territorial dynamics : what heritage does to the city and what the city does to heritage.

Her current research focuses on the creation of “urban heritage commons” at the interface between urban development and heritage preservation, from a multidisciplinary perspective that combines political ecology and critical urban studies.
