Reconstruction de Rouen
Reconstruction de Rouen, Post-war urban reconstruction zone in Rouen, France
The reconstruction project transformed both banks of the Seine River through modern urban planning, replacing damaged structures with new architectural designs.
Following severe damage during World War II from 1940 to 1944, architect Jacques Greber initiated an extensive rebuilding program to restore Rouen's infrastructure.
The redevelopment incorporated local architectural elements while introducing contemporary design principles, creating a fusion between historical and modern urban spaces.
The reconstruction plan added a fourth bridge across the Seine River and reorganized transportation routes to improve circulation between different districts.
The administrative buildings were consolidated on both sides of Place Carnot, with the Prefecture construction beginning in 1957.
