This paper explores the spatial and residential impact of social-mix and urban renewal policies in large French social housing estates. Tenure diversification is one of the drivers of a privatization process that is leading to an increase in private housing, especially home ownership developments. The wholesale urban restructuring of the modernist conception of high-rise buildings and open public spaces of the 1960s provides another vector. Analyzing the implementation of these two national strategies at large housing estate micro level—partly at La Duchère housing complex in Lyon—sheds light on how the design and location of new housing developments results in fragmentation of “residences” and space. To a certain extent, these social-mix policies exacerbate internal socio-residential differentiation by simply “displacing the stigma”. What is new is rescaling at the level of small “residences” and gating of housing more than the segmentation process itself, which already existed in large housing estates. At the micro-level of large housing estates, this challenges the standardization of urban and social practices through design, the “residualization” of social housing and public space as well as the public management of fragmented space. In a broader context, these changes show how the recent shift in the French social housing model has been embodied in spatial reconfiguration.

本文探讨了法国大型社会住宅区的社会融合和城市更新政策对空间和住宅的影响。保有权多元化是私有化进程的驱动因素之一，导致私人住房增加，尤其是自有住房的发展。1960 年代高层建筑和开放公共空间的现代主义概念的大规模城市重构提供了另一个载体。分析这两项国家战略在大型住宅区微观层面的实施——部分是在里昂的 La Duchère 住宅区——揭示了新住宅开发的设计和位置如何导致“住宅”和空间的碎片化。在某种程度上，这些社会混合政策只是通过简单地“取代污名”来加剧内部社会-住宅分化。在小型“住宅”和房屋门控的层面上重新调整规模，而不是在大型住宅区已经存在的分割过程本身。在大屋村的微观层面，这对城市和社会实践的设计标准化、保障性住房和公共空间的“剩余化”以及碎片化空间的公共管理提出了挑战。在更广泛的背景下，这些变化表明最近法国社会住房模式的转变如何体现在空间重新配置中。
