A Study on the Support System for Small-scale Housing Redevelopment Projects in France

This study aims to derive implications for the vitalization of the small-scale redevelopment projects through research on the public support systems in France. We studied the Residential Environment Improvement Project (OPHA), the New State Urban Regeneration Project (N-PURU), and the Old Town Housing Redevelopment Project (PNRQAD) to help to establishing domestic redevelopment policies in Korea. The findings of our study are as follow: First, housing redevelopment projects in France are carried out in a way that preserves and develops the identity and history of the region through remodeling to preserve cultural heritage instead of demolition. Second, the government led the project, emphasized the involvement of their residents, and differentiates the support of management and financial institutions according to the nature of the project. Third, they focused on prediction and preparation for future changes, such as population and infrastructure. Forth, social, historical, environmental, and economic aspects are syntagmatically taken into consideration. The implication of these results is significant at the present as Korea enhances the improvement of the small-scale redevelopment support.
