Abstract

This analysis is based upon the concept of migration at a local scale. It isnecessary to distinguish between simple removal and intra-urban migration, where itis held residential mobility and social change. The whole of the urban area must beconsidered like a migratory device.The investigation into households in Bordeaux allows one to confront data on seniority inthe neighbourhood, housing possession status, with data concerning the choice ofhousing: change in the situation of the family, professional reasons, local facilities.

Keywords: residential mobility, intra-urban migrations, social change
