Project Overview
The Salamander Way A New Route for Le Havre
The purpose of the Salamander Way project in Le Havre is to revive the link between two natural city landscapes: the Montgeon Forest (north) and the Seine Estuary (south). This urban revitalisation will be accomplished by the proposed bicycle and pedestrian route that crosses the entire city from north to south. The Salamander Way encapsulates the essence of Le Havre, as it contains nearly all of its most characteristic elements: the forest, the cliffs, the Escalier de Montmorency, the historical neighbourhoods, the city’s new entrance, the mix of residential and industrial buildings, the Canal de Tarcanville, the port and, at the edge of Le Havre, the Seine estuary. The salamander is a symbol of Le Havre and like a salamander the route will pass thorough the city towards the Seine. The project provides an inviting opportunity for the city’s inhabitants and tourists to explore and re-discover its uniqueness. It offers a chance to understand and appreciate the industrial and natural elements of the city; as well as the rural, urban, and social attributes of Le Havre. This will all be grasped in one route: The Salamander Way.

Potential Opportunities Space for Future Projects
Le Havre is a shrinking city. Since 1975 its population size has decrease. This brings forth major changes in its urban landscape aspects: Shrinking city scenario: - Loss of population - Vacant lots Opportunities: - City’s new dynamic - The Salamander Way can link several underused areas - Vacant lots are used to create spaces for the local communities and their connectivity Future projects need to be developed in parallel with local communities through social engagement.

Historical Context In previous centuries, the area covered by forest was significantly greater than it is today. However, there is a present-day tendency for the port to slowly migrate to the south, opening lacunae were the forest can re-take the space that it has lost.

Natural Landscapes The Montgeon Forest
The Montgeon Forest was originally purchased by Le Havre’s city council (1909) and it later became a public park. The Germans used this forest as an ammunition depot during World War II and the Americans set up a military camp there after they gained control of the area. Subsequently, it was used to accommodate over 3,000 city inhabitants who were left homeless after the bombing of the city. Currently, Montgeon Forest contains a nature reserve, two man-made lakes, a campsite, several football fields, running tracks and the starting point for a hiking trail. The trees provide a natural insulation against the high temperatures in sunny summer days, as well as protection against the cold winds in the winter.

Natural Landscapes The Seine Estuary
Le Havre is located in the Seine Estuary. The Seine passes through major cities in France, including Rouen and Paris. Whereas the industrialisation of the port has taken its toll on the natural environment, current efforts to protect the Nature Reserve of the Seine Estuary have played a critical role in preserving the biodiversity of this area. Additionally, environmentally responsible development standards and green designs are now keystones for the proposals to restore the existing man-made structures that border the Seine Estuary. As a major industrial port city in France, Le Havre is now home to infrastructure renewal projects, such as the Seine GatewayÂŽ, a project owned by the Urban Agency of Le Havre and the Seine Estuary (AURH).

The Seine Estuary Linking Opportunities
The Salamander Way will allow locals and visitors to discover and enjoy the splendour of the Seine Estuary - a unique landscape asset that is currently undervalued and neglected by the inhabitants of Le Havre. This route will incentivise tourism opportunities in the estuary by linking its natural and man-made attractions to people from cities such as: Le Havre, Honfleur, Rouen, Paris and beyond. Whether strolling through the informal paths of the Nature Reserve, or enjoying the beautiful sunsets at the waterfront while gazing at the port activity, the Salamander Way will enable people to reconnect with their local surroundings.

The Salamander Way Project’s Brief
The Salamander Way will be a north-south route that crosses the entire city liking its main natural landscapes. In order to better explore the connection between the forest and the estuary, a pedestrian and cyclist route will be proposed. It will connect two poles of the city, permeating the neighbourhoods and allowing pedestrians and cyclist to travel thought the surrounding areas with greater ease. The Montgeon Forest and the Seine Estuary will be both start and end point, according to the chosen direction. Pedestrians and cyclist have priority in the Salamander Way, although they will not have exclusive use of the route. This will require changing the fast and intense traffic flow of cars and trucks into a continuous low-speed environment. It can be accomplished by narrowing the roads (specially along the Boulevard de Graville’s length), restricting parking, limiting vehicle sizes and being more generous with the pedestrian and cyclist’s space. The Salamander Way will revive Le Havre by inviting the inhabitants of this shirking city to explore their surroundings and opportunities through a pathway that links the varied natural and industrial elements along with the famous landmarks and iconic urban landscapes.

The Topography Visual Connections
From the Escalier de Montmorency, the characteristic topography of Le Havre offers an “aerial view sensation”. From this belvedere it is possible to make the visual connection between the city’s cliffs and the Seine Estuary. The Salamander Way will become a picturesque route that crosses thought the two different levels of the city, passing through the cliffs and descending through the slopes, onto the banks of the river Seine.

Direct Route
Green Spine
Overall Principles 1. Engagement with the local communities. 2. Direct route, getting from the Forest Montgeon to the Seine Estuary as quickly as possible. 3. Pedestrian and cyclist friendly environment. 4. Reducing the dominance of cars by reducing the width of the carriageway and numbers of lanes - maximizing pedestrian and cyclist way/path. 5. Deviation of heavy traffic and trucks. 6. The Salamander Way is rooted in the existing landscape. 7. Use of existing infrastructure. 8. Improvement of public space: route as a catalyst to the creation of urban “living rooms”. 9. Greening the urban experience by gradually transforming the route axis into a green spine. 10. Sense of identity and coherence throughout with the use of the Salamander Way street furniture. 11. Encouraging people to cycle to work, as opposed to driving, thus reducing carbon emissions. 12. Promoting sports and healthier lifestyles. 13. Incentivising the use cycling, walking and water transport throughout the city and its surroundings.

SECTION
Impact Areas Neighbourhoods, Port and Industry Zone A: HISTORIC NEIGHBOURHOOD - Historical neighbourhoods, mostly residential - No major industrial areas - Well defined blocks/grid - Highly populated
Graphic: Neighbourhoods, AURH, eddited by Juliana Cedro Stock
Impact Areas
Project’s Response By crossing the entire city, the Salamander Way will improve the entire urban landscape and will augment the quality of life for all the inhabitants of Le Havre. Each of the Zones will be influenced in different ways, from reduction of heavy traffic and facilitating communication between neighbourhoods, to linking natural and industrial areas through safe and commuter friendly zones. Since its conception the project was designed to blend into the existing infrastructure and architecture, hence preserving the essence of the traditional neighbourhoods in the Zone A. Likewise, through minimal intrusions into the established grid layout, pedestrian and cyclist commuting will be facilitated in this heavily populated area.
Graphic: Industry, AURH, eddited by Juliana Cedro Stock
Impact Areas Neighbourhoods, Port and Industry Zone B: MIXED NEIGHBOURHOOD - Fragmented Neighbourhoods, not well connected to each other - Heavy mix of residential buildings and industrial estates - Abruptly divided into East and West by the Boulevard De Graville - Highly congested with heavy traffic - Unfriendly commuting routes for cyclists and pedestrians - Industrial activity related to the port is slowly migrating to the south (Zones C and D)
Graphic: Neighbourhoods, AURH, eddited by Juliana Cedro Stock
Impact Areas
Project’s Response In Zone B, The Salamander Way will have a significant impact as it plans to gradually relocate the heavy and dangerous traffic of the Boulevard de Graville. As industrial activity migrates south, traffic flow will be replaced it with a commuterfriendly pedestrian and cycle route. This will improve connectivity between neighbourhoods for pedestrians and cyclists.

Impact Areas Neighbourhoods, Port and Industry Zone C: RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBOURHOOD - Les Neiges: Residential area in the middle of the port - Not well defined grids - Home to art warehouse studios and community centres - Industrial port activities are relocating here
Graphic: Neighbourhoods, AURH, eddited by Juliana Cedro Stock
Impact Areas
Project’s Response In Zone C, The Salamander Way will border the residential and industrial neighbourhoods, currently scattered in a nonstructured manner. This will create a communication artery that will facilitate transport for cyclist and pedestrians.

Impact Areas Neighbourhoods, Port and Industry Zone D: INDUSTRY AND PORT - No Residential Neighbourhoods - Industrial port activities are relocating here - Transition area: Port industry to natural estuary
Graphic: Neighbourhoods, AURH, eddited by Juliana Cedro Stock
Impact Areas
Project’s Response In Zone D, The Salamander Way will connect the Nature Reserve and the riverbank, hence completing the pedestrian and cyclist artery that will link the city’s residential, industrial, port and natural elements. An arrival point will be part of project The Container View Tower. The Nature Reserve’s informal paths will give the possibility of expansion for the Salamander Way.

The Nature Reserve CONCEPTUAL INTENTIONS: 1. INTEGRATING: The Salamander Way will be integrating various parts of Le Havre, specially its two natural landscapes: the forest and the estuary. 2. ARRIVING: The southern “end point” of the Salamander Way - the Container View Tower – will be providing shelter, observation deck, roof terraces, cafe bar and toilet facilities 3. EXPANDING: Paths along the Seine Estuary and inside the nature reserve.
Left: Conceptual Sketches: Juliana Cedro Stock
Area 2
Schematic Planting Plan The planting plan for the Salamander Way’s Focus Area 2 is based on a site-natural regeneration concept. The project is in part a response to the port expansion towards the Nature Reserve, which is now worryingly reducing in size as a result of industrial and commercial development. The existing vegetation gaps will be replanted with native species of trees and mixed varieties of locally growing grasses. The educational efforts linked to the socially sustainable initiates of the project, as well as the informational signs throughout the route, will promote the protection of these replanted areas, allowing the ecology to replenish itself at a natural pace. Chosen trees genus: Populus Salix Alnus Chosen meadows genus: Lythrum Virgatum Filipendula Deschanpsia Sanguisorba

Annex 2
The Salamander Market SPATIAL STRAGEGY: Until now the Boulevard de Granville has been seen as a barrier. With the implementation of The Salamander Way project, this north-south link can be then turned into a threshold, attracting the community and therefore new developments. This will require changing the fast and intense traffic flow of cars and trucks into a continuous low-speed environment. The Salamander Market - a vibrant urban living through community engagement - is a proposal to stir the dynamic of Le Havre, changing the shrinking city scenario, an opportunity to attract its inhabitants and tourisms to (re) discover the assets the city has to offer.

Annex 2
The Salamander Market MASTER PLAN: Continuous flow low speed environment Balance between - drivers - cyclists - pedestrians Narrowing the road though vertical elements (trees), and a more generous space for the pedestrian and cyclists. Creation of the Salamander Market and community centre. Rejuvenation of the community allotments.
