L'usine, où suaient nos grands-parents, s'est changée au musée. La bibliothèque, rebaptisée médiathèque, brille comme un diamant au coin de la rue. Les vieux quartiers, où l'on hésitait naguère à s'aventurer, sont des centres commerciaux à ciel ouvert. Les ronds-points sont nos arcs de triomphe... En pleine révolution, la géographie de nos villes bouscule nos repères familiers. L'école, la mairie, la halle ne se ressemblent plus. L'architecture n'affirme rien, elle interroge. Jean-Louis André donne ici une réponse en images, retraçant une histoire originale de l'urbanisme.
