Since 2024, he also has been leading Highly Skilled Migration in Global Cities, a SSHRC-funded study of the evolving motivations and experiences of hypermobile professionals across diverse urban contexts such as Istanbul, Doha, Singapore, and Toronto.

Marie Gibert-Flutre is Associate Professor of Geography in the Department of East Asia Studies (LCAO)/CESSMA, at the Universiteì Paris Cité. Her research deals with the dynamics of public and private spaces in the production and appropriation of urban space in Asia. By critically exploring 'global Asia' from ordinary public spaces and neighborhoods, she turns in particular the traditional approach to 'global cities' upside down and contributes to a renewed conception of metropolization as a highly situated process, where forces at play locally are both intertwined and labile. As Principal Investigator, she currently manages the Ho Chi Minh City case study of the International SEANNET 2 (Southeast Asia Neighborhoods Network) research program: Communities of Learning, Research and Teaching Collaborative (funded by the Henry Luce Foundation). She has recently published the following books: Les envers de la métropolisation: Les ruelles de Ho Chi Minh Ville (Vietnam) (CNRS Edition, 2019) and Asian Alleyways: An Urban Vernacular in Times of Globalization (Amsterdam University Press, 2020), co-edited with Heide Imai.
