Les Platanes

Urban planning · by Pierre Jameux · 1967

chemin de Saint Joseph à Sainte Marthe, Marseille 14e Arrondissement, France

In post-war Marseille, "bastides" and rural areas constitute the primary land resource. Without a specific urban plan, development occurs along existing pathways such as access routes to the bastides (notably, the chemin de Sainte-Marthe), railways, and former canals. This organic growth reflects a historical context where infrastructure molds the cityscape rather than structured, planned expansion.
