As a doctoral candidate in urban planning at both Université du Littoral Côte d'Opale (ULCO) and Université catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain), my focus is set on comprehending the transformative influence of socio-economic factors on urban landscapes and models. With a foundational background in Architecture from the Holy Spirit University of Kaslik and Urban Planning and Sustainability from Polytech Tours, my ambition is to bridge the chasm between academic theories and the tangible dynamics of urban environments.My research, drawing inspiration from both ROI and SROI evaluative frameworks, probes the multifaceted impacts of universities on urban development. Universities are evolving beyond their conventional roles as hubs for education and research, asserting themselves as crucial nodes within the ecosystems of urban innovation and territorial strategy. They act as vital channels for knowledge dissemination, engendering a thriving knowledge-driven society.Additionally, my studies shed light on the nuanced relationship between universities and third-places. This connection highlights the profound potential of these institutions to collaboratively tackle the intricate socio-economic challenges of our times, underlining their significance as strategic collaborators in urban evolution.To convey my insights effectively, I employ an array of tools such as Adobe Suite, Notion, Microsoft Suite, AutoCAD, and SketchUp. These platforms enable me to forge detailed visual narratives, ensuring that my research findings resonate with both the academic community and industry experts.
