This suburb was dominated by modernist urbanism and was transformed by introducing traditional, mixed use urban fabric, beautiful architecture inspired by its local traditions, a lot of green and a more balanced housing supply. In this video you'll hear everything about Le Plessis-Robinson, a town in the suburbs of Paris, and how it was completely transformed - and I'll give 7 lessons of how this town did it. ------------ Support this channel by becoming a patron: https://patreon.com/the_Aesthetic_city Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/_Aesthetic_City Follow us on Insta: https://www.instagram.com/the.aesthetic.city ========== Disclaimer: Some of the links below are affiliate links, which means I may earn a commission if you click on them and make a purchase.
