Read moreThe Cité Basse is one of the garden cities built in the Parisian region after the First World War. From the 1926-1930 s, the architect Payret-Dortail and his students built housing to respond to the influx of new populations accompanying the economic expansion of this commune near Paris. These social housing units have specific objectives: to install maximum material comfort, to avoid dormitory cities at all costs, to involve the social classes as much as possible and, above all, to ban the uniformity of buildings in order to give room for individual personalization. Finally, the presence of greenery, rare for the time!
