Inhabited milieu's challenges Today, suburban housing is at the core of densification and land value enhancement issues in French metropolises in general, and the Paris metropolitan area in particular. All planning laws and regulatory documents have identified suburban areas as potential land reserves, leading to residential densification projects that often exclude more vulnerable households.
The Ormes neighborhood embodies all of these dynamics. It is a historical urban entity, a space of desire, a social marker, an object of speculation, and a projection of alternative ways of living in a future France facing +4°C by 2100. It is also a fragile urban fabric—sometimes outdated, sometimes unhealthy—undergoing rapid densification.
