Beatrice Meloni

Currently PhD candidate in Urban Planning Design and Policy at Politecnico di Milano. Master of Advanced Studies in Urban Design at ETH Zurich, with a focus on inclusive urbanism, cities and migration that led to the publication of the book “Migrant Marseille Architecture of social segregation and Urban Inclusivity”. Master in Architecture at Politecnico di Torino. Two years of work experience as architect and urban designer in Zurich focusing on masterplans and feasibility studies and successfully winning two first prizes and one second prize in architectural competitions. Three years of work experience in architecture and landscape firms in Italy. Competences in context analysis, city mapping and excellent digital drawing and representation skills. Thanks to my work experiences I am able to combine urban and architectural design. During my education I focused on urban studies, geography and migration. I strongly believe in the importance of multidisciplinarity and the interdependence of research, practice and engagement. My desired occupations would be for public or private institutions in the field of urban governance and policy making, giving a contribution in bridging research and design, with a focus on socio-spatial inequalities.
