On Thursday, the Aix-Marseille Provence metropolis adopted a motion carried by the majority. The motion calls for a relaxation of the SRU law, which requires municipalities to build social housing.

The text deplores in particular "the too many cyclical and structural, local or national brakes which weigh on the production of housing" The motion notably wishes to “break with the logic of stocks” to determine the number of social housing and favor the notion of silos.
