"All of the architects rejected the 1960s French solution to suburban sprawl of creating discrete new satellite cities. Instead, most proposed filling in the unused spaces of the metropolitan area – derelict land, underused public buildings, weed-filled tracts along railways and rooftops – to preserve the countryside and make the metropolis more compact."
The more I read, the more interested I become.
Does anyone know anything of the 1960s proposals in France that suggested ‘satellite cities’ were the way to go???
Would love to read up on this more.
