The City of Amiens, one of the first to create significant car-free zones in the city, continues with a project to pedestrianise a third area of the city centre.
The focus of the project was to link the covered space, designed by Claude Vasconi, in front of the city’s main railway station, with the existing pedestrianised areas. The boundaries of the Square Saint Denis have been reconfigured, creating a real city centre civic space.
