Seniors and housing: a model in need of reinvention
(Français) Le vieillissement de la population n’est pas un phénomène nouveau. Mais l’augmentation de l’espérance de vie en bonne santé et l’arrivée massive des baby-boomers à la retraite accélèrent fortement le phénomène. Pour preuve, il y a en France depuis 2015 plus de +65 ans que de -18 ans ! Et en 2030, un français sur 3 aura +60 ans. Qui sont les seniors ? Quels sont leurs besoins et attentes ? Quelles implications sur les offres d’habitat ? Découvrez ci-dessous quelques éléments de réponse.

Paris 2024: building a legacy for the region
While the tradition of building Olympic villages dates to 1924, when the last Paris Games were held, it was not until 2003 that the legacy dimension of the Games appeared in the Olympic Charter. SOLIDEO, the delivery authority for all the permanent works of the coming Paris Olympic Games, has put this idea of a reduced or positive long-term impact at the heart of its plans to prepare for the post-Olympic period, for example by favouring renovation over new construction. While some developments have already been strongly criticised, can the 2024 Olympics be a new model for Olympic urban planning?
