Presentation of the Apur study on migrant workers' hostels in Paris

29th June 2012 from 16h to 18h Conference room of the City of Paris Policy and Integration Delegation, 6, rue du Département, M° Stalingrad, 75019 Paris, France.

The Resources Centre of the City of Paris Policy and Integration Delegation have the pleasure of inviting you to the presentation of the study carried out by the Parisian Urbanism Agency - Apur (2010) on migrant workers' hostels in Paris.

Following a first study in 2005, Apur was commissioned in 2010 by the City of Paris  Policy Delegation and the Department of Housing and Living Conditions to identify and  make an inentory of the social, hygiene and cultural interventions in the 45 migrant workers hostels and the 4 new Parisian decongestion residences.

This work, carried out in liaison with the Parisian managing organisations and about thirty associative and social bodies' active in Parisian hostels, permits one to be aware of the needs expressed by residents and to formulate recommendations. It also describes the general situation in residences in 2010 at a time marked by an acceleration in the plan to turn a great number of hostels into  council accommodation and the major restructuring of the  housing stock of Parisian managerial organisations, of which there remained only 4 in 2010. Alongside this transformation of the housing stock there is a change in the occupants of Parisian residences: less overcrowding, a big increase in an ageing population, a growing number of Sub-Saharan and French residents  and there are also changes in the types of communal life which exist in these establishments.
