Abstract: This report, funded by Plan Urbanisme Construction Architecture (PUCA) and written by Dr Bert Provan and Celine Kuklowsky of LSE Housing and Communities, explores French weak market cities. It demonstrates that French cities offer models of density, imposing city infrastructure projects, remodelling the public realm, and a strong state role alongside decentralisation. It shows that there is much to learn from the French approach to city renewal and planning, focused 'major city renewal' projects and social cohesion interventions.
