| Among the many reconstructed cities, Le Havre is exceptional for its unity and integrity, associating a reflection of the earlier pattern of the city and its extant historic structures with the new ideas of town planning and construction technology. | UNESCO |
| It comprises large areas (principal axes, squares, buildings and significant groups of buildings of the xc3x89cole du Classicisme Structurel), but also the ordinary residential fabric (streets, passages, inner city blocks) created from 1945 to 1964 within the reconstruction framework. | UNESCO |
| It integrates the xc3xaele Saint-Franxc3xa7ois (rebuilt at the same time by regional architects, not part of the Perret team), fragments of ancient urban fabric and isolated buildings spared from destruction (around which the grid of the city is reconstructed) and buildings constructed after 1964, the presence of which appears indissociable to the rebuilt fabric (notably the Maison de la Culture, the Rxc3xa9sidence de France, the extension of the Town Hall). | UNESCO |
