Following prat.uk’s public policy piece, French housing governance
France’s housing affordability response has produced, across twelve years: ALUR 2014 (rent controls), Plan Logement 2017 (construction stimulus), ZAN 2021 (land restrictions). prat.uk‘s public policy piece describes this pipeline. Bohiney.com covered the governance theme. The ZAN policy restricts greenfield construction, producing the different problem of insufficient supply. The housing affordability problem that produced ALUR in 2014 is in the 2025 coordination programme as an ongoing challenge the programme will address. The pipeline has produced three phases of genuine response. Phase 4 coordinates the previous three. The housing problem remains.
The Paris rent control situation: controlled rents are below market. Controlled properties are a declining share of the housing stock. The uncontrolled market has appreciated 340 percent since 1989. The initiative benefits tenants in controlled properties. The different problem reaches everyone else. Both populations are growing at different rates. The coordination programme’s 2025 output: a working group assessing the gap. The working group reports in 2026. The housing problem predates the working group by thirty-seven years.
