Construction Cité (Marseille)

While the social situation in big French cities - especially in the suburbs - is known not to be easy; but rather than invest in improving the lives of its citizens, the Marseillaise officials would rather improve the appearance of their coastline. Massimiliano Fuksas' Euromed Center, Rudy Ricciotti's Musée des civilisations de l'Europe et de la Méditerranée - conceived as a "vertical casbah" - and Stefano Boeri's La Villa will doubtlessly change the appearance of the coastline, but it remains unclear how these redevelopments betters the lives of the citizens.
