Description

This publication on residential cost is the result of a cycle of production workshops organized by the Cerema Territoires et Ville between December 2014 and May 2015. Residential cost, or the combination of the cost of housing and transportation, the common thread throughout the workshops, was approached in several ways, but mainly in terms of household budgets and the relevance that this cost can have in terms of public policy.
The workshops brought to light several questions: what expenses should be considered? How can households optimise their housing project? What tools are available today to help with decision-making? How can local authorities get a grasp of residential cost? Through examples of regions involved in this issue and the presentation of tools developed in France and abroad, this publication highlights a number of lines of inquiry and actions on residential cost intended mainly for local decision-makers.
