Hélène Noizet

Hélène Noizet is a Professor of Medieval History at the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne since 2005, earning her Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches in 2020. Her research focuses on medieval urban development, particularly examining how social practices and representations shaped urban morphology through street networks, land parcels, and buildings. She coordinates the ALPAGE project (Diachronic Analysis of Parisian Urban Space: Geomatic Approach), collaborating with researchers like Boris Bove, Caroline Bourlet, and Julie Claustre. Her work extends beyond Paris to other urban spaces, including Lyon and Lille, where she applies her expertise in urban fabric analysis and GIS. She maintains international academic collaborations, particularly with the University of Ottawa, and supervises doctoral research on medieval urban spaces. Her innovative approach combines historical, archaeological, and geographical methodologies to understand how medieval social practices influenced urban development and continue to shape contemporary cities
