David Chevallier - Speaker on habitat
Manager at MémO - Strategy and Development Consulting
Through home surveys, public spaces, and participatory meetings, I explore the ways of living and inhabiting urban spaces. My fields are varied, located in popular neighborhoods (urban renewal, citizen councils), the social field (homelessness and urban spaces, psychological suffering, reception centers for asylum seekers), urban development (co-construction of uses, uses of home automation, shared gardens, thermal comfort). My questioning is focused on the involvement of the concerned individuals in the construction of projects and public policies.

The Expectations of Tomorrow's Tenants
What are the expectations and needs of tomorrow's tenants? What can we say about the evolution of their behaviors?
The citizen tenant:
- A demand from landlords for more involvement, more relationships, and participation: working on the empowerment of tenants that changes the relationship
- A desire to be more connected to other tenants and residents
- The client tenant: an increased demand for peaceful housing management: housing adaptation, responsiveness to minor repairs, quality of living environment o The historical aspirations of social landlords to update: LCR-type approaches, collective spaces (housing foyers), shared gardens o Renewing the Landlord – Tenant relationship: proposing new governance, developing community organizing, through effective digital management and an adapted proximity approach (moving from proximity to accessibility)
The vulnerable tenant:
- Statistically older, more often affected by psychological suffering, in a context of increasing rich/poor gaps
- The ecological transition can weaken tenants
- The digital divide can exacerbate imbalances: learning home automation, health...
- The tenant in adaptation/transition: the need for greenery and healthy food o The historical aspirations of social landlords to update: mutual aid, hospitality o The need for an individualized but holistic approach – data and home automation o Creating resource housing: easy soil, helpful digital technology, redistributive buildings, and the circular economy
