Dr. Camille Devaux is a Lecturer in Planning and Urbanism at the University of Caen Normandy, affiliated with the UMR 6590 Spaces and Societies (ESO) research unit. She specializes in spatial planning and urban planning with a focus on housing policies, participatory approaches, and urban renewal processes. Her work bridges academic research and practical policy applications, particularly in the areas of social housing transformation and resident involvement in urban development.
Dr. Devaux's research primarily focuses on participatory housing models, aging and housing, urban policy, and resident involvement in city planning. Her work examines how housing policies evolve from resident initiatives to public action, with particular attention to the institutionalization of alternative housing models. She has conducted extensive research on social housing sales, mixed co-ownership management, and the social dynamics within transitioning residential communities. Her methodological approach combines qualitative and quantitative research methods to understand complex urban phenomena.
Her recent publications reveal a strong focus on the transformation of social housing through sales to residents, examining the resulting mixed co-ownership structures in cities like Angers, Nancy, and Cergy-Pontoise. This research program (2020-2024) has produced comprehensive analyses of management forms and social functioning in these transitional housing environments. She has also contributed significantly to understanding participatory housing models and their relationship to sustainable urban development.

Dr. Devaux has been actively involved in the ESO research axes, particularly Axis 3: The (re)localization of politics: a process under tension (2022-2027), and has contributed to the ch. 2 - LIVING site as a facilitator alongside Christine Lamberts and Béatrice Chaudet. Her work demonstrates consistent engagement with both theoretical frameworks and practical urban challenges, making significant contributions to the field of urban studies and housing policy.
