More than eight out of ten Ile-de-France residents find their region overpopulated. 71% of respondents also say they are worried about the increase in population density in their region.
Densification, seen as a means of reducing urban sprawl, is the subject of sensitive debates affecting lifestyles. In mid-February, the Prime Minister, Gabriel Attal, promised investments to encourage the raising of buildings or the construction of additional houses on already occupied land. The majority of respondents judge that density has a negative impact on their quality of life.
