Paris under the microscope Festival: round table "Paris, precarious housing, inhabiting-sheltering"

Paris, like many metropolises, must face the challenges of poverty and exclusion that affect a portion of its population, particularly foreigners and those in exile. This round table will focus both on people in extreme precariousness, their trajectories and their living places (slums, squats, streets), and on the public policies tasked with providing solutions, with varying degrees of success.

Scheduled as part of Paris under the microscope, festival of young research on Paris, this round table is offered by the History Committee of the City of Paris.

Program of this round table:

• Antonin Gay-Dupuy, The shack and the bulldozer: State, local elected officials and the voluntary sector facing slums in the Paris, Lyon, Marseille and Nice agglomerations (1950s - 1990s), University Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne.
