Inhabited milieu's challenges Miramas, well connected by both rail and road, sits at the heart of the West-Etang-de-Berre basin, a hub for transportation and economic activities. However, the town suffers from an underdeveloped town center and is currently implementing a strategy to revitalize it.
The workers’ housing area is located to the west of the town center. It is a unique neighborhood with significant heritage value, strategically placed between several urban development projects. A thoughtful approach must be taken to evolve the neighborhood in relation to its surroundings and current challenges, while preserving both its built and unbuilt heritage.
