In a new article published in @urbanstudiesjournal.com, I examine the investment and management strategy of Akelius, one of the few global corporate #landlords active in France. To do this, I cross-referenced public databases to identify its network of real estate companies and their holdings. 1/7

Une amie m'envoie ça 🤩 Évidemment, j'approuve ce message 🙌 Dédicace à toustes les géographes critiques (et féministes, décoloniales·aux, queer, etc.), qui s'attachent à comprendre l'imbrication entre espaces et rapports de domination, pour aider à construire collectivement nos émancipations ❤️‍🔥

#Trappes Le déni total des médias dominants est totalement hallucinant.

"Je comprends les lycéens et les étudiants : ils sont au cœur de mon engagement politique depuis dix ans." Oui, il l'a vraiment dit.

Qué tristeza y qué dolor. Y qué fácil hubiera sido evitarlo. "Luchad, seguid luchando por lo que es vuestro". Lo repitió hasta desde la cama del hospital, casi sin poder hablar. Menuda lección de dignidad nos has dado.

Une excellente leçon de journalisme et d'enquête numérique à diffuser dans tous les cours d'éducation aux médias !

Eh oui, Antoine Guironnet qui remporte le Grand Prix 2026 de la recherche sur l’habitat social avec son papier paru dans Gouvernement & action publique ("‘L’État investisseur’ en mode asset manager. La gestion d’actifs immobiliers par la CDC comme nouvel instrument des politiques de logement").

New paper: The unlawful rent gap: How landlords close rent gaps despite rent regulation This paper challenges the dominant understanding in the literature that rent regulation inhibits the operation of the rent gap. doi.org/10.1177/0308... What the paper does... 1/n

#OpenData is not automatically transparency. When data is complex, fragmented or hard to navigate, it can remain opaque in practice. That’s why such projects making CAP farm-level subsidies understandable and accessible are so valuable. The website is available in FR, EN, DE and ES.

French academics have halved their flights without any constraints being imposed on them. Travel distances have decreased (-17%), as have carbon emissions per kilometre (-20%), while rail travel has increased. Academics are slightly less bad than some, but the effort must continue...

This new study finds that the total death toll in Europe during the June heatwave exceeds 20,000 people. "This result highlights the accelerating threat of mass heat mortality events in Europe despite previous adaptations to heat." Pre-print here: zenodo.org/records/2108...

Pyrenees, Gironde, Var, Corsica, Île-de-France, the Alps... Sentinel-2 satellite imagery captures the devastating toll of this season's major wildfires across France. And it's only July.

We knew starchitects as the concrete lobby’s favourite allies, accelerating artificialisation and serving financialised urbanism. But their symbolic capital can also be mobilised to legitimise projects involving opaque money flows and questionable forms of capital accumulation

🏙️ NEW in #UrbanStudies ✍️ @aftp.bsky.social presents a method for reverse engineering landlords’ local strategies, applied to #Akelius, a global corporate #landlord whose French #housing portfolio has been reconstructed by cross-referencing open administrative datasets. 📖 buff.ly/4IqHjK6

Très intéressant cet article : il aborde la "zone grise" dans laquelle se trouve ce type de produit, les montages, l'hétérogénéité des gestionnaires, la présence d'acteurs institutionnels dernières certaines sociétés, le coliving "diffus", les profils des locataires...

On 9-13th Nov. 2026, we are going to host a *workshop on urban segregation computation with R*. Together, we want to identify and prioritise the methodological and technical developments needed to address big theoretical questions in the field of urban segregation. erc-segue.nl/Workshop

"1% of the population own half of England."

In France, landlords are massively using the "rent supplement", a mechanism that effectively allows them to bypass rent control. A new study in Lyon shows that one third of the listings collected use it, compared with a quarter the previous year. www.observatoire-lfc.fr/complementde...

La mesure d'exclusion des étudiants étrangers des aides au logement est particulièrement indigne. Dans l'esprit elle reprend les dispositions inspirées par le programme de l'extrême droite contenues dans la loi immigration. www.lemonde.fr/societe/arti...

Brussels bubble: "the US is pulling ahead, the EU is lagging behind and must deregulate to remain competitive" Reality:
