The National Assembly unanimously adopted on Thursday a text aimed at facilitating the transformation of offices into housing. The bill from MoDem Romain Daubié (Ain) is now expected in the Senate.

In Île-de-France, there are 4.5 million square meters of empty offices. Facilitating their transformation is essential given the many difficulties in finding housing and also responds to an “ ecological necessity ”, insists the parliamentarian. It provides for simplification measures such as an exemption from the local urban planning plan.
