Summary:
La ville du Havre, présente une histoire faite de ruptures. Leure, le port d’origine, se trouva comme effacé par la guerre de Cent Ans. Le Havre proprement dit a été fondé par François Ier, qui voulait un port pour faciliter les échanges rouennais, notamment avec l’Amérique. A la fin du XIXe siècle et au début du XXe, le Havre connaît un développement des plus rapides. Les bombardements de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, en feront une des villes d’Europe les plus sinistrées. Sa reconstruction selon les plans de l’équipe Perret se posera en exemple et chef-d’œuvre d’architecture rationaliste. Dès l’après-guerre, l’expansion urbaine reprendra à une rythme effréné jusqu'à la fin du XXe siècle. Le livre aborde la ville par sa réalité physique et met en évidence les rapports du port et de la ville. Il restitue toute la richesse de cette ville au passé détruit, mais dont la qualité architecturale contemporaine lui vaut d’être proposée par la France pour une inscription sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l’humanité.
