This study day organized by the ESPI Research in Real Estatelaboratory, in Lyon and remotely, looks at the role that real estate and urban planning players can play in integrating research, experimentation and innovative practices designed to make territories more health-friendly.
Real estate - both as an activity and as a product of this activity - currently crystallizes paradoxical visions. Social science research, developments in sustainable urban planning and public policy have long emphasized the limits of technical solutionism in ensuring the well-being of urban and rural residents alike. And yet, when it is demonstrated that a "poorly" built or poorly developed environment has negative effects on this well-being, it is the technical dimension of real estate (engineering, legal, financial or managerial) that is the first to be criticized, and its players called into question. However, the real estate sector also sees in the themes of health and ageing opportunities for product diversification, with senior residences for example, and new ways of designing their programs by highlighting co-benefits with the improvement of the living environment and health in its broadest definition.
This study day is designed as a forum for dialogue between researchers, institutional players and professionals, who are invited to share their views on what defines sustainable, health-friendly urban planning, and what real estate experts can and should do to guarantee it.
Three complementary sessions are organized during the day. The first focuses on ageing and innovations in real estate, the second on methods for promoting health-friendly urban planning, and the third on the quality of housing and habitat in the face of health challenges.
