- Abstract
The Courtillières housing project—in the suburban municipality of Pantin, just outside of Paris—was built to the designs of architect Èmile Aillaud at the peak of the housing crisis which plagued the Fourth Republic. At its inauguration in June 1958, the Courtillières was considered to be an exemplary demonstration of the manner in which public authorities hoped to resolve the housing crisis, through the construction of high quality housing projects.
