Dr Julio PAULOS

Associate Director, Research (Zurich)

Dr Julio Paulos is an interdisciplinary urban scholar. His professional and academic engagements span a range of topics, disciplines and geographies, all of which relate to contemporary urban challenges.

At FCL Global, Julio is responsible for coordinating the research programme aimed at developing a specialised but coherent vision of how to live on a rapidly urbanising planet in the face of multiple controversies.

Previously, Julio was a postdoctoral researcher at the Université de Lausanne (2020-2023), and a research assistant at the ETH Zürich (2014-2018). He was also an MCTS visiting fellow at the TU München (2017) and an invited researcher at the Centre de Sociologie de l'Innovation, Mines ParisTech (2018).

Research Interests

With an interdisciplinary background in the humanities and social sciences, Julio’s interests have been shaped by his curiosity for how cities are governed and thought about.

Situated at the intersection of urban studies, planning theory and science and technology studies, his research is particularly invested in the problematisation of the political and democratic challenges posed by urban transformations.
