Inscription.
En 1945, afin de répondre à la demande croissante de logements, est créé l'Office public d'habitation à bon marché (OPHBM) qui deviendra l'Office public d'habitation à loyer modéré (OPHLM). Dans le cadre de la politique municipale de logement social, l'architecte André Lurçat réalise une série de grands ensembles comprenant équipements scolaires, crèches, centres sportifs et commerciaux, espaces verts. À partir de 1954, l'État impose l'abaissement du coût de la construction. En 1956, l'architecte Fernand Ottin construit le «Parc Saint-Rémy» qui répond à cette recherche de rentabilité. Les immeubles sont édifiés selon la technique de l'ossature en béton armé avec des cloisons en briques creuses et des escaliers préfabriqués. Sept bâtiments de onze étages et quatre bâtiments à cinq niveaux offrent le «confort moderne». Depuis, la cité a été subdivisée en deux. En 2006 un financement de l'Agence Nationale pour la Rénovation Urbaine (ANRU) est obtenu et, débute en 2010, la rénovation des 412 logements de Saint-Rémy Nord., In 1945, the Public office of affordable housing was created (OPHBM), which later became the Public office of accommodation with moderate rent (OPHLM). As part of the local policy on social housing, the architect André Lurçat conceived a series of large blocks of housing incorporating schools, nurseries, sports and shopping centres as well as green areas. From 1954, the State imposed a reduction on building costs. In 1956, the architect Fernand Ottin builds the «Saint-Rémy», responding to this search for affordable construction costs. These buildings were erected following the technique of reinforced concrete for the structure, and partitions made of hollow bricks, well as pre-fabricated staircases. Seven buildings of eleven storeys and four blocks on five levels therefore offered « modern comfort». Since then, the estate has been subdivided in two. In 2006, some funding from the Agence Nationale pour la Rénovation Urbaine (ANRU) was obtained and enabled the start of the refurbishment of 412 accommodations in Saint-Rémy Nord.
