With more than three hundred buildings in areas as varied as housing, activity, culture, sport, but also infrastructure or public space, this guide gives their names to the anonymous architects and celebrities of the 20th century, who built these buildings, these structures, and, in doing so, built the city, giving it its face, leaving here and there signs of public and private architecture still visible, but not always noticed. On eighty-six neighborhoods of the districts of Marseille, this guide invites you to get off the beaten track, beyond the quays of the Old Port and its daily routine, to discover the city and its urban landscapes, near and far, tenuous and fragmented, in fact modern as our last century was, resolutely modern.
