Hautepierre

Hautepierre is a district of Strasbourg.

In order to contain the urban extension towards the west of the Agglomeration, the plan of directing Urbanisme of Strasbourg of the years 1960 envisages the construction of a “piece of city” of 253 Hectare S in common limit of .

Localization

Established in the west of the town of Strasbourg to the locality " Hohenstein" , translated into " Hautepierre".

In the south, the district of Hohberg and the sector of old the Forging mills of Strasbourg (Strafor), in north Cronenbourg, with like limit the road of Oberhausbergen (axis of Strasbourg towards Kochersberg) and the Holy sector Antoine.

In the east, Cronenbourg, separated by the way from Railroad " special marchandises" ; in the west fields of Eckbolsheim and Oberhausbergen.

That represents 253 ha divided into two by penetrating the highway has 351, coming from Saverne via the Trunk road 4:

Hautepierre itself (initially Northern Hautepierre) of 179 ha

Lawful situation

The district of Hautepierre developed within the framework of a Urban development zone (Z.U.P.), created by stopped S of December 28th, 1964 and of March 16th, 1967, approved by the Superior council of architecture and town planning on May 22nd, 1967. Installation is conceded with the S.E.R.S. (Company of Installation and Equipment of the Area of Strasbourg, company of mixed economy).

The first oil Crisis having sounded a crushing argument of the principal extensions, the project was limited to its northern half. The local by-law of September 14th, 1977 reduces the Z.U.P. to its first section. The Park of the Potteries is the subject of a Reach development concerted (Z.A.C.) by ministerial decree of December 18th, 1984.

The space management is ensured by a free property owners' syndicate, a.S.E.R.H. (Property owners' syndicate of the Residential Whole of Hautepierre).

Architectural concept, construction

The project wanted to be innovative, while endeavouring to bring solutions to the defects of the great units. He wanted to answer so that one believed to correspond to the requirements of modern civilization, in particular as regards motor vehicle traffic. The studies of circulation and organization of urban fabric thus determined the choice of a structure hexagonal E in " Honeycomb s" who divides space into under-districts called " meshs ". Inside zones of calm were maintained, the motor vehicle traffic being carried out in Périphérie. The meshs constitute as many units which gather the equipment of vicinity: crib, school, Gymnasium; inside meshs advance S Piéton S and green areas are spared.

The district was designed by the Architecte S P. Dick then P. Vivien. There was to be 13 hexagonal meshs on the whole of the district (southern and northern).

Evolution of the district

The Concept was ambitious and innovating. But time proved that the positive aspects of this structure in meshs (proximity of the school facilities, tallies of life pleasant and making safe for the small children) had negative consequences for the displacements (in particular for nonthe residents).

This urban experiment will not be reproduced. She is regarded as one of the causes of the social failure which the district represents, which suffers in addition from a real lack of social diversity. This situation is very often reported by the Média S, as well local as national, because of presence of the chains of Télévision, on the spot, in Strasbourg (related to its role of European Capitale).

The Tram , line has, opened in autumn 1994, serves the district partly, with the Station S " Hospital of Hautepierre" , " Dante" , " Hautepierre Link " (terminus). It gives access to the center town of Strasbourg in approximately ¼ hour. Lines of bus of " rocade" 70 and 50 are in correspondence with Hautepierre Maillon; the transverse line 4/4a has a terminus at this same station.

The cycle tracks are quasi non-existent, but the advance in the meshs is relatively easy, on the level of the pedestrian sectors,

The district, since January 1st, 2004, is classified in Free urban zone .

Within the framework of the national policy of the Relative law to solidarity and the renewal urban (S.R.U.), a project was lodged with the National agency for the Urban renovation (A.N.RU.), at the end of 2006.
