La Cité Marianne is the largest administrative complex in France with 18 state departments, 2,000 employees, and more than 20,000 m2 of city nature.

The 400m-long site is placed along one of Lille’s major highways with the public spaces designed to alleviate pollution and traffic noise. The landscape reinterprets a series of specific Northern France habitats (natural or man-made): Dunes, forests, bocage, alluvial plains – even terrils and industrial wastelands.

The landscape thus provides a strong local atmosphere and a renewed sense of pride in the ecological and historical identity of the Lille region.

The project is done in collaboration with Bouygues Batiment Nord-Est, Coldefy Valode & Pistre, and Setec Bâtiment.
