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.
