- Biography
Jean-Paul Addie is Associate Professor in the Urban Studies Institute. He is a critical urban geographer working on issues of urban and regional governance, urban political economy, and socio-spatial theory, with a specific focus on the politics of infrastructure. His research and teaching address questions of access, mobility, and social justice, and explore topics including university-led urban development, transportation governance, city-regionalism, urban restructuring, and neoliberal urban policy. Dr. Addie’s work has been published in international journals including Urban Geography, Regional Studies, International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, Environment and Planning A, Antipode, Journal of Urban Affairs, and CITY. He is co-editor (with Michael Glass and Jen Nelles) of Infrastructural Times: Temporality and the Making of Global Urban Worlds, published in 2024 by Bristol University Press.
Dr. Addie is the editor of the Urban Affairs Association’s Rights to the City book series, a Fellow of the Regional Studies Association, and co-director of the RSA Research Network on Infrastructural Regionalisms (NOIR). Prior to joining the Georgia State, Dr. Addie was a Marie Curie Fellow in the Department of Geography at University College London (UCL), and Lecturer and Provost Fellow in UCL’s Department of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Public Policy. He holds degrees in geography from York University, Miami University, and the University of Dundee.
