ZAŁOŻENIA I INSTRUMENTY FRANCUSKIEJ POLITYKI MIESZKANIOWEJ PO II WOJNIE ŚWIATOWEJ

Abstract

The article gives a brief presentation and analysis of the French housing policy after 1945 with a view to demonstrating its rationality and consequent efficiency. One symptom o f this rationality was to concentrate the help of the State after the war on refurbishing the existing buildings. In the following years, as the needs of the society progressed, also the tools necessary to meet those needs were effectively adapted. At the time when a number of French citizens from overseas were repatriated an increased amount of public funds was earmarked to building new cheap council flats. However, later on it was realised that it is more effective to allocate funds to private housing, in particular detached one-family houses.
