This project has two interdependent objectives. On the one hand, we attempt to characterize residential choices in relation to pollution in urban areas in France.

First, studies on French urban areas are rarely developed considering their heterogeneity in terms of location, internal structures and urban sprawl. One of the purposes is to overcome this limitation. Secondly, hedonic studies of slightly polluted areas are carried out with purchase-sale data, whereas the rental market remains very important.

This leads us to qualify the segregation and gent
