“The PLUi adjusts to the course you have set”
” The local intermunicipal urban plan adjusts to the course you have set, Mr. Mayor “. This announcement by David Ytier, vice-president of the Aix-Marseille Provence metropolis in charge of housing, caused applause in the audience. Hear, The 91 other municipalities of the metropolis will have to contribute their share in terms of social housing and the city itself will be able to restructure itself. Benoît Payan motivated this notorious advance: “ I would like to thank you, Mr. Vice-President, for agreeing to lower the social housing obligation threshold. It was not possible to remain in this situation when 40,000 people are applying for social housing. We will now have to build them in all the arrondissements, from the 1st to the 16th. We have a city cut in two… certain districts have been borne alone, for years, by the weight of the construction of social housing “.

Before these States-General Sophie Camard, mayor of 1/7, plunged back into the campaign axes of the Marseille Spring. The Estates-General of Housing were listed there. She sees it” respect for the word given. We had two priorities in our program, school and housing. Since then, two public companies of national interest have been created for each major municipal cause. We went looking for help, support. We laid the foundations of public action for several years “.

“Let’s leave the picrocholine battles behind us”
To show the mobilization of the town hall in terms of housing, nothing better than a trip to the field with the Minister of Housing. Appointment is made at the Îlot Hoche-Versailles still in the 3rd arrondissement. A sector in full rehabilitation with the destruction of an old building and the construction of housing and a college. A friendly wink no doubt to the president of the department, funder of the establishment. ” This case is a priesthood, a mission underlines Benoît Payan: “ Coming here to the third arrondissement is symbolic. He spent years under the radar. I want to show the minister what we can do when we put tools in place that can make things change… It costs money but it’s worth it “. Asked about arm in arm with the metropolis, the mayor believes that it is necessary leaving picrocholine battles behind us as if the elections were the end of everything… What counts in the end what we have achieved or the objects we throw at each other? »

An angel passes…
Who put balm on the wounds between the city and the metropolis? We won’t know officially. But obviously the ties have tightened. During the stroll in the Hoche-Versailles block, David Ytier recalled his wish to move forward ever further with the City. ” We are ready to extend the rental permit on the territory of Marseille and to go further. To be forces of legislative proposals with the city. The minister and the government must hear that Marseille can be a laboratory against unfit housing “. The icing on the cake, the vice-president of the metropolis is in favor of having ” a joint city/metropolis direction in terms of housing and urban renewal to jointly carry out public actions throughout the metropolis instead of having sterile competition between our services “. An angel passes…

Work to be done
In conclusion to these States-General, several speakers were part of the need for public action to move the files forward. The president of Anah (National Housing Agency), Thierry Repentin recalled that ” Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur and even more the Bouches-du-Rhône are places where the SRU law is the least respected. Municipalities choose not to offer housing for all segments of the population on their territory. This explains why Marseille would collect populations who could find a roof elsewhere if peripheral municipalities would agree to build social housing “. These States-General will perhaps serve as an awareness…

From this beautiful unit, it appears that 4,500 housing units should be built in Marseille each year, the majority of which will be social housing. In view of inflation and thermal liabilities which are legion in the city, there is urgency. Middle classes are falling into poverty because of the growing housing item.
