This article aims at demonstrating that including infranational territories is essential to appreciate interests groups' influence in some policy sectors. The paper is based on an empirical fieldwork focused on the strategies of private real-estate developers to have an influence on housing policies in France. While developers are minor stakeholders at national and supranational levels, they play a crucial role in the evolution of housing policies' regulation. Their local mobilizations have two dimensions : private real-estate developers are extremely active during the implementation stage of some national housing policies (often fiscal ones) and they lobby local government, which are in charge of issuing building permits.
