Presentation and argumentThe workshop is supported by the Urban Futures Labex of the University Paris-Est and it continues to develop the conceptual framework that was discussed during the day-long seminar entitled &#8220;Representing property markets&#8221; held at the University Paris 7 Diderot in July 2017.While many scholars compare property markets from the same urban area or compare the way these markets distinguish urban areas within a given country, very few propose an international comparison.And yet, this is a main scientific issue. Such comparisons would provide a new angle for studying metropolitan development as well as its internal trends relating to inequality and gentrification.This one-day seminar will provide a space to undertake such reflection while highlighting the methodological and theoretical stakes related to international comparability.Programme9h : Welcome and coffee9h30-10h : Introduction to the workshop &#8211; Renaud Le Goix (Univ.
