The transformation of our city is an ambitious project that the municipal majority is carrying out collectively with all stakeholders to improve the living environment for all.
Today, a new important stage in the transformation of the Village Olympique and Villeneuve districts, initiated since 2019, is launched. The investment devoted to bringing them up to standard matches the City’s ambitions so that everyone can live in isolated and welcoming homes. Most of the 257 million euros of the project is in fact devoted to housing, with a vast program of rehabilitation of housing dating from the 1950s to 1980s.
Alongside the ANRU and the Metropolis, the City of Grenoble is fully committed to this project, providing financial support for the rehabilitation operations carried out by the social landlords Société Dauphinoise pour l’Habitat (SDH) and ACTIS. Today, the Municipal Council has adopted the renovation of 122 SDH housing units in the Olympic Village, and that of 135 ACTIS housing units located in the Arlequin sector of Villeneuve. This work will enable, by 2026, some of the least well-off families to live in dignified housing whose quality and energy efficiency have been ensured.
Because the objectives of the municipal majority are clear:
- Achieve low-consumption building (BBC) thermal performance guaranteeing comfort in summer and winter.
- Maintain a balance between rent and charges to preserve the purchasing power of residents.
- Improve the attractiveness and quality of life in this emblematic district.
With its work, the SDH’s total investment in the Olympic Village will reach more than 50 million euros, an unprecedented commitment for this historic district of Grenoble. At the same time, the operation led by ACTIS will also ensure particular attention to supporting tenants throughout the work, with the main objective of preserving and strengthening their well-being, both in their home and in their neighborhood, during this period. transformation.
The work includes the segmentation of buildings through the creation of new vertical services, making 10 additional homes accessible. With a view to improving the living environment of residents, the renovation of housing is added to a requalification of common areas. For the elected representatives of the majority, taking care of our working-class neighborhoods is much more than a responsibility: it is a commitment to equality, social justice and the dignity of each resident. These neighborhoods are the beating heart of our city, rich in their histories, their diversity and their collective strengths. Investing in their renovation, their dynamism and their future means recognizing their essential role in our society and guaranteeing that no one is left behind. It also means offering everyone a living environment that meets their aspirations: quality housing, welcoming public spaces and a living environment that promotes well-being and opportunities. Together, the elected representatives of the majority call for continuing to uphold these values and building a united city, where each neighborhood is a place of life, development and a future for those who live there.
