Lily Munson

A graduate of the École Normale Supérieure with a degree in Geography and Urban Planning, Lily Munson worked for five years in the office of the Deputy Mayor for Urban Planning and Architecture of the City of Paris, first as a political advisor and then as director, before becoming the Secretary General of Villes Vivantes. Her work in advocating for the creation of social housing in Paris — through both property preemption in diffuse areas and large-scale real estate projects — as well as leading the revision of the bioclimatic Local Urban Plan, has deepened her commitment to exploring and experimenting with all available tools to address the housing crisis.
