The tenement building, a familiar type in the suburbs of the Hauts-de-Seine department, close to Paris, was frequently put up by speculative builders, even if the promiscuity they supposed was generally rejected by workers who would have preferred their own, individual homes. Some philanthropical builders offered complex housing types, and buildings associating accommodation and other functions (work, commerce, services) affected housing in the suburbs, although such types were rare in the capital itself. Organising the complexity of urban space and its circulations, town planning operated a functional division that dissolved this mixity by going beyond existing building types.
