Henri Prost and the Maroccan Colonial Experience

Abstract

Hélène Vacher defended her licentiate thesis Projection coloniale et ville rationalisée. Le rôle de l'espace colonial dans la constitution de l'urbanisme en France - 1900-1931 last spring at the University of Aalborg, Denmark. With this text she is developing, from that colonial background, some important aspects of the specific career of architect Henri Prost and particularly his vast importance to the preformation of the ideology and practice of modern urbanism in France itself.
