Territories, Cities, Environment & Society research unit is joint research unit between Lille University and University of Littoral Côte d’Opale (ULCO): http://tves.univ-lille1.fr/. It is a multidisciplinary team in human and social sciences and combines many disciplines: geography, territorial planning, sociology, economy, management, and politics. The research unit is composed of 60 permanent members including 55 Full professors, readers and Associates professors, 4 technical staff and 75 contractual staff (including 55 PhD students). The grouping of the Lille 1 and ULCO teams led to the constitution of a regional social sciences research centre into urban space, urban dynamics, territories and the environment. The unit’s name accounts for its scientific object. Two research axes structure a number of themes which are being investigated by current teams: 1) Urban mutations and territorial development: planning, mobility, attractiveness and boundaries 2) Environment, risks, nature and society: hazards, biodiversity, maritime and coastal territories. TVES has been founded in 2006. TVES includes one technical platform in cartography and geomatics. TVES interacts with the MESHS (Maison européenne des sciences de l’homme et de la société), which gathers the scientific activities of 34 laboratories in the Hauts-de-France region.
