Reconstructed center of Le Havre, Urban district in Le Havre, France.
The reconstructed center spans 150 hectares with concrete buildings arranged in a geometric grid pattern, featuring wide boulevards and public squares.
After World War II bombings destroyed Le Havre in 1944, architect Auguste Perret led the complete reconstruction of the city center from 1945 to 1964.
The center includes the Saint-Joseph Church, standing 110 meters tall, and the André Malraux Museum of Fine Arts, which displays extensive art collections.
The district contains 12,000 residential units equipped with collective heating systems, elevators, and modern amenities across its organized street layout.
UNESCO recognized this urban ensemble in 2005 for its innovative use of reinforced concrete and its balanced integration of classical principles with modernist design.
