Cité des Roses

The Cité des Roses represents a significant milestone in social housing policy in France, established under the Bonnevay law of 1912, which permitted municipalities to create low-cost housing offices. Created by the municipal office of Brive-la-Gaillarde in 1925, it is the first collective housing project in this sub-prefecture of Corrèze. This development aligns with the city's plan for urban planning, extension, and beautification, particularly focusing on the sanitation and development of the northern neighborhoods.
