Francesca Savoldi is a transdisciplinary scholar with a PhD in human geography. Her work concerns the dimensions of power, politics, space and place, currently with a focus on coastal cities and maritime areas.

As a Marie Skłodowska-Curie postdoctoral fellow at TU Delft (2021–2023), she investigated the contested and evolving condition of port cities. Grounded in critical geography and political ecology, her work examined how emerging politics of circulation reshape spatial and ecological relationships, sparking civic resistance and socio-political emancipation in port cities.

Francesca has worked on several high-impact EU-funded projects on topics such as citizen science, climate change adaptation and inequalities in coastal environments, blue economies, and policy (Jean Monnet Chair), as well as post-conflict urbanism. She has conducted research and lectured at several universities including TU Delft, Erasmus University, Ca’ Foscari University, Glasgow Caledonian University, and Universidade Nova de Lisboa.
