L’expert·e et l’opérateur·ice : produire et vendre des études de marché à des promoteurs immobiliers en France
Recent studies have analysed the crucial role played by urban expertise in the construction of real estate strategies and the increased use of information and communication technologies in this sector. By analysing the use of consultancies by property developers, this paper questions the effect of this practice on housing production. It relies on participant observation in a French consultancy office combined with semi-structured interviews with experts. This article sheds light on the interrelations between the structures of the field of consultancy, as it is understood in Bourdieusian economic sociology, and the concrete practices of valuation by experts of development programmes. This paper concludes that consultancies adjust the digital scope of their activity to different degrees, which can be understood as a strategy aimed at maintaining or advancing their position in the field.
