Ensemble du centre-ville : place des Droits de l'Homme et du Citoyen

Urban planning · by Gustafson Catherine · 1991

cour Monseigneur Romero ; boulevard des Coquibus, Évry-Courcouronnes, France

The urban center of Évry features a public square named the Place des Droits de l'Homme et du Citoyen, establishing a new civic power hub apart from the Prefecture and symbolizing a shift from the commercial dominance of the hypermarket. This development signifies a return to traditional urban values and concludes a phase of pioneering urbanization on the former agricultural land. The ensemble is characterized by brick-clad facades, easily identifiable at first glance. The design also incorporates elements reminiscent of the medieval cathedral quarter, reinforcing a clear intent for historical continuity within the urban fabric.
