Le Havre, the City Rebuilt by Auguste Perret

🎧  Listen to Introduction

The city of Le Havre, located on the English Channel in Normandy, was heavily bombed during World War II. Between 1945 and 1964, the destroyed areas were rebuilt according to plans by a team led by Auguste Perret. The site constitutes the administrative, commercial and cultural centre of Le Havre. Le Havre stands out among the many rebuilt cities for its unity and integrity. It combines earlier town models and existing historic buildings with new ideas in town planning and building technology. It is an outstanding example of post-war urban planning and architecture, based on methodological unity and the use of prefabrication, the systematic exploitation of modular grids and the innovative development of the potential of concrete.
