Housing in the future
No aspect of housing has been spared, they are all being reinvented in accordance with three overarching principles: housing that is agile and custom-built, housing that is shared and open to the rest of the city, and housing that is sustainable and resilient.
Family breakdown, changing lifestyles, an ageing population, the incorporation of housing into the sharing economy, an overall increased interest in sharing, the promotion of localness and nearness, the meteoric rise of digital technologies and connected devices, and sustainable development concerns are just a few of the factors that are changing the form and function of housing and disrupting how residents use the places where they live. No aspect of housing has been spared from these changes. Housing layout and distribution, the role and uses of a home, its connection with the neighbourhood, and the structure of the residential building are all being reinvented in accordance with three overarching principles: housing that is agile and custom-built, housing that is shared and open to the rest of the city, and housing that is sustainable and resilient. Bouygues Construction decided to merge its thought process with the vision of experts and housing stakeholders to suss out what housing will look like in the future.

Transitionning cities
Time, an essential aspect of our lives, is a somewhat overlooked entry key in the development and management of the city. While space has often been organised to save time, rarely has time been organised to save space. More generally, the chronotopic approach combining space and time remained marginal for a long time. But times are changing!
