In November 2018 eight people, including a mother from the Comoros and residents from Tunisia and Algeria, died when two buildings collapsed in the run down area of Noailles in the old port area of Marseille. A 2015 government report had already warned that 40,000 dilapidated and dangerous homes put 100,000 people at risk in France's second city, but campaigners say little was done. The tragedy occasioned widespread anger about run down and exploitative housing in the Mediterranean city. It also refocused public attention on housing and the concept of the home. In turn this raised questions about how housing and the home connect to space and social justice, the division of labour between national and local government, citizenship and 'the right to the city'.

将法兰西帝国带回家？

2018 年 11 月，马赛老港区 Noailles 破败地区的两座建筑物倒塌，造成 8 人死亡，其中包括一名来自科摩罗的母亲以及来自突尼斯和阿尔及利亚的居民。2015 年的一份政府报告已经警告说，法国第二大城市有 40,000 座破旧和危险的房屋使 100,000 人处于危险之中，但活动人士表示几乎没有采取任何措施。这场悲剧引发了人们对地中海城市破败和剥削性住房的广泛愤怒。它还将公众的注意力重新集中在住房和家庭的概念上。反过来，这引发了关于住房和家庭如何与空间和社会正义、国家和地方政府之间的分工、公民身份和“城市权”相关联的问题。
