Promoting social housing: Insights from redevelopment policies in Paris

Lauriane Belloy and Fabien Candau

Journal of Housing Economics, 2025, vol. 68, issue C

Abstract: The issue of income segregation plagues numerous cities, and in particular Paris which is studied here. To mitigate this problem, the local government has implemented redevelopment policies that increase incentives to convert offices and other commercial units into social housing in high-demand areas. We find that these policies have a negligible effect. Only the most restrictive legislation slightly stimulated the conversion of social housing in the city center; all subsequent policies had no effect.
