Prof. Dr. Karina Pallagst
Karina Pallagst is professor for International Planning Systems at Kaiserslautern University’s faculty of Spatial Planning. Previously she worked at UC Berkeley’s center for Global Metropolitan Studies (GMS) and the Institute of Urban and Regional Development (IURD) as the Program Director of the Shrinking Cities International Research Group. Prior to this appointment she was a senior research specialist at the Dresden-based Institute of Ecological and Regional Development (IOER). Prof. Pallagst holds a PhD from Kaiserslautern University and a post-doctoral degree from Dresden Technical University. Her research focuses on international comparative urban development, shrinking cities, urban growth, planning cultures, and planning theory. She serves on numerous think tanks, working groups and committees regarding spatial planning and international urban development. She is also a co-founder of the Shrinking Cities International Research Network (SCiRN).
Sylvie Folis a Professor of Urban Planning at the University of Paris 1 Panthéon – Sorbonne. She holds a PhD in Urban Studies from the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (Paris). Her research focuses on the manifestations and effects of socio-spatial inequalities and analyses the strategies that are put in place to tackle social exclusion and segregation. Sylvie’s research aims at understanding the effects of globalization and metropolization processes on the socio-spatial evolution of the Paris’ suburbs, which have been strongly affected by urban decline and constitute an interesting example of “Shrinking Cities”. Sylvie is a member of the managing board of the “Shrinking Cities International Research Network”. She is now vice-chair of the European Program COST “Cities Regrowing Smaller”.
