Urban Age remembers French sociologist Sophie Body-Gendrot

4 October 2018

The Urban Age family has lost one of its closest and most inspiring colleagues. French sociologist Sophie Body-Gendrot passed away in September and her funeral was held at Père-Lachaise cemetery in Paris last week. Sophie was a committed urbanist, who studied violence and conflicts in cities, participating with great energy and passion to many Urban Age conferences since 2005.
