DESCRIPTION:{ABOUT THE SPEAKER}\nRenaud Le Goix is a Professor of Geograph
 y and Urban Studies\, Université de Paris\,  affiliated to UMR Géographi
 e-cités CNRS joint research unit\, Head of UMS RIATE (Interdisciplinary N
 etwork for Spatial Planning in Europe). His researches focus on metropolit
 an areas and real-estate markets\, in France\, in Europe and in the US\, a
 nalyzing the interactions between property values\, segregation patterns\,
  ordinary financialization. His recent book (Sur le front\, Publications d
 e la Sorbonne\, 2016) uncovers the spatial dynamics of suburban markets an
 d segregation patterns in the Los Angeles area with a focus on relationshi
 ps between developers\, property owners associations and local government 
 bodies. Most recent work focus on the spatial dynamics and inequalities in
  housing markets\, funded by the ANR Dynamite Project. Web : http://www.pa

 igates how asset-based welfare policies\, residential market volatility\, 
 and stratified accumulation and vulnerability impinge upon the economic ge
 ography of inequality in housing markets. Since the mid-1990s\, housing pr
 ices have increased faster than the income of buyers\, becoming an importa
 nt driver of social polarization and household vulnerability. We seek to b
 etter explain housing inequality through an empirically-grounded investiga
 tion of the factors driving and reinforcing these dynamics\, what we refer
  to as a feedback loop mediating particular housing finance regimes. Our s
 tudy develops a comparative framework for analysis drawing of three cities
  (Paris\, Lyon\, and Avignon) in the French housing system. We examine the
  relationships between asset-based welfare policies\, price instability\, 
 and uneven investment accumulation using a methodological approach to inte
 grate real estate data across national and behavioral levels\, in order to
  think across key debates currently underway regarding housing as a driver
  of socio-spatial inequality.\n\nThis paper was prepared under the ANR WIs
 DHoM project\, Wealth inequalities and the dynamics of housing markets. (A
