In the early 1990s, urban planning underwent a revolution with Euralille. An iconoclastic architect, a visionary mayor and a daring planner shook up practices and completed the design and construction of France's third largest business district in just a few years. Shaped by the forces of neoliberalism, a major European city is entering the 21st century. Euralille is a project with multiple historical, theoretical and critical issues that sheds light on the present and perhaps the future of the metropolis.
