Francis Beaucire
Francis Beaucire is a geographer and Professor at the Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne University where he is in charge of graduate studies in urban and country planning. He also teaches at the French Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées. He specialises in urban and country planning, transport, and sustainable development in the European geographical framework. At present, his work focuses on the link between public transport supply and the urbanisation process in the context of local and regional consistency plans which have replaced the former SDAUs (urban planning master plans) and, in the field of transport, on an assessment of the impact of urban and intercity public transport on mobility.
He is the editor of "Transports urbains, Mobilité, Réseaux, Territoires" published by GETUM (Groupement pour l'Etude des Transports Urbains Modernes, Group for the study of modern urban transport).
