Director of Urban Planning & Design at C40 | France

Hélène Chartier is C40’s Director of Urban Planning & Design, where she helps cities accelerate sustainable and resilient urban planning policies and design practices. The crux of her work is this: use urban planning regulations, create programmes, and develop activities that institutionalise climate action. Alongside her team, Hélène also leads C40’s Green and Thriving Neighbourhoods programme, and the Reinventing Cities competition, which promotes decarbonisation and resilient urban regeneration projects. Continuing the work she did as a former advisor to the Mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, Hélène also has a hand in C40’s 15-minute City workstream.
