Urban Renewal and Cultural Significance
Marseille, the second-most populous city in France, has been a trading port since ancient times. The city has undergone urban renewal, notably through the Euroméditerranée project launched in the 1990s. This initiative has led to new infrastructure and renovations, including the expansion of the Stade Vélodrome and the development of quayside museums like the Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilisations (MuCEM). 2
