Bas-Clichy in the Paris region is a typical built-up neighborhood. Despite being situated in the town center, the area has major problems due to its lack of a functional center. The decision to launch a regeneration program (“ORCOD”) was based on the inefficiency of the existing buildings, the complexity of the issues involved and the need for significant funds. The French government awarded a contract to EPFIF in 2015 to regenerate real-estate, combat sub-standard housing, rehouse inhabitants, provide social support, update private housing and contribute to urban planning.
ORCOD regeneration programs for rundown apartment buildings
Created by the recent Access to Housing and Urban Renovation (ALUR) Law, ORCAD programs provide a new way for the French government to address the problem of rundown apartment buildings. They enable authorities to intervene at a wider scale than individual apartments and on more aspects, including urban and social issues.
