CASE STUDIESfrance
ReHousIn examines housing inequalities in France through case studies in three distinct types of areas. This research provides insights into housing challenges, policy responses, and the impact of economic, social, and environmental factors.
Case study locations
- Neighbourhoods in a metropolitan region (Paris): Batignolles and Chapelle International – areas undergoing major urban transformation, with large-scale developments integrating nature-based solutions, retrofitting, and densification strategies.
- Medium-sized city: Orléans – a historic city implementing urban renewal initiatives, particularly in the Argonne neighbourhood, to address socio-spatial inequalities and improve housing conditions.
- Small town: Sens – a town where housing renewal and environmental policies intersect, with efforts focused on retrofitting social housing, expanding green infrastructure, and improving energy efficiency.

CASE STUDIES
ReHousIn conducts comprehensive case studies in nine countries across four European regions: Italy and Spain in southern Europe; Hungary and Poland in central-eastern Europe; Austria, France, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom in western Europe; and Norway in northern Europe.
In each country, ReHousIn will focus on three types of areas: metropolitan regions, medium-sized cities, and rural areas, analysing 27 cases in sum. The case studies will spotlight effective local initiatives to address housing inequalities and provide valuable insights for tailored policy recommendations.
