Le quartier des États-Unis à Lyon : la fin du purgatoire ?
1993
The Etats-Unis neighbourhood at Lyons : the end of purgatory ? In comparison with his « Cite Industrielle », seen as an anticipation of the town-planning theories of the Modern Movement, Tony Garnier’s realisations in the Etats-Unis neighbourhood in Lyons have always been seen as something of secondary importance, the result of a compromise. For many years the area was neglected, and it is only since 1985 that a renewal programme has been undertaken, based on the ideal model that the architect had set forth in the « Cite Industrielle ». After a detailed historical and stylistic study, the author of this article questions the relations between the real Etats-Unis quarter and the imaginary « Cite Industrielle », and shows how the restoration programme has modified the original architecture, the specific qualities of which may be more correctly evaluated today.
