Rue de la Republique and Quai de la Joliette
As part of the Euromediteranee development project, launched in 1995, a 1.2 square mile area between the city centre and the port is being fully regenerated. Refurbishment of the attractive 19th-century Haussman buildings is creating business and residential properties that combine old world character and modern comforts. New shops, hotels, cinemas, museums, schools, sports centres are springing up in this vibrant new district. Underground car parking, a tramway and new metro stations have diminished congestion, and wide tree-lined pavements and improved street lighting contribute to the complete transformation of this formerly industrial area.
