@muppet Some of our best recent social housing is located over "Rive Gauche", the large master plan of the 13th arrondissement that they've been implementing for some 20 years!
It is quite large and involves some hard work like covering some rail tracks, so it takes forever to gradually build the entire new neighborhood.
It is designed to be diverse in all aspects of life, which is the best you can do.
My favorite is still this one.

Not the tallest, but I like the fact that they tried some quality stained concrete to it.
People often don't realize, but concrete is just a composite material, so you may put whatever you want in there.
Like it doesn't have to be gray/grey and sometimes, it happens to really be good looking.
The current municipality of Paris also went to some crazier "social" projects of theirs, like turning some of this into social housing for instance.

You see these buildings with an arc shape? Lol, I think they are supposed to be social housing now.
I guess most people would find it mad, but frankly, I hardly care.
