Île-de-France Eyes Major Housing Expansion Without Using New Land
Urban planners say redevelopment of existing sites could yield tens of thousands of units.
Regional authorities in Île-de-France have announced plans to dramatically expand housing capacity by repurposing existing land instead of developing new areas.
Experts estimate that the initiative could produce tens of thousands of new housing units through the renovation of underused industrial zones and public spaces.
The strategy aims to balance urban growth with environmental protection amid mounting pressure to address France’s housing shortage.
