I designed master plans for several large-scale housing developments, incorporating roadways, utilities, and green spaces, as well as creating 12 building plans in compliance with Neufert standards. My responsibilities included developing development, building, and green space plans, while ensuring the overall consistency of real estate projects. I worked closely with developers, architects, and technicians to ensure the technical quality and regulatory compliance of the projects.

Urban Planner (Internship)

May 2018–Oct. 2018 • Ministry of Land Use Planning • Madagascar

As part of a development project for a municipal market (1 ha), I developed an optimized layout plan incorporating traffic flow, vendor stalls, and green spaces, as well as an urban impact study (traffic flow, delivery areas, restrooms). My responsibilities included conducting a territorial assessment (topographic surveys, field surveys, traffic flow analysis), designing 2D/3D zoning plans using AutoCAD and SketchUp, and producing georeferenced maps. I also drafted study reports and development scenarios, which were presented to ministerial departments, ensuring compliance with Neufert standards and local regulations.

Urban Planner (Internship)

Apr. 2016–Sept. 2016 • JARY Consulting Firm • Madagascar

Responsible for the master plan of the new city (approximately 50 ha) and the development of the adjacent port area, I coordinated topographic surveys and environmental assessments, as well as preliminary studies incorporating spatial scenarios and zoning plans tailored to local challenges. I modeled the urban grid, built-up blocks, logistics connections, and landscape corridors in 2D/3D using AutoCAD and SketchUp. I produced study reports summarizing the proposals, assessed environmental impacts, and ensured compliance with Malagasy regulations (Law 2015-052). I also presented the scenarios to clients and institutional partners, ensuring the quality and relevance of the deliverables.
