Designed in the interwar years and built between 1930 and 1965, it is a French illustration of the philanthropic ideal of mass housing that first emerged in England in the 19th century. This well-researched, highly illustrated book joins in with the latest developments in a painful debate about a plan for demolition. With foreword by Jean-Louis Cohen.
