Industrial-era streets
Rows of narrow, parallel streets recall the housing built for textile workers. They form a fine, regular texture that stands out against the looser layouts of later neighbourhoods.

The map
Hem sits on the eastern side of the Lille metropolitan area, pressed between Roubaix to the north and Villeneuve-d'Ascq to the south-west. From above it reads as a patchwork. Terraced brick streets from the industrial era meet later housing estates, and small squares and schoolyards break up the pattern. Towards the edges the blocks thin out into fields and parkland, and the plan loosens there.
Like its neighbours, Hem grew with the textile industry of the Roubaix–Tourcoing area. You can still see that period in the long, narrow plots and straight streets of workers' housing. The town is also known for the Chapelle Sainte-Thérèse, a modest post-war church whose stained-glass walls by Alfred Manessier draw visitors interested in twentieth-century sacred art.
On a Hem map poster the town looks like one piece of a larger urban fabric. Its roads carry straight on into the surrounding communes, and its outline follows municipal boundaries rather than any natural edge. The result is an intricate, even composition that works well in black and white. Fine residential lanes cluster in the centre and more open space surrounds them.
Rows of narrow, parallel streets recall the housing built for textile workers. They form a fine, regular texture that stands out against the looser layouts of later neighbourhoods.
Main roads run straight on into Roubaix, Croix and Villeneuve-d'Ascq. On the poster Hem looks like a connected district of a wider city, not an isolated town.
Towards the east and south the built-up area gives way to fields, sports grounds and parkland. These open areas frame the denser streets in pale space.

Why Hem
People who grew up in Hem, or moved away from the Lille area, often want a map of the streets they know instead of a picture of a landmark. A street plan is a quiet way to keep a neighbourhood close, whether it marks a family home, a first flat or a school.
You can personalise the poster with your own title, a subtitle such as a date or a family name, and the coordinates line. Choose from five styles: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand. Download it as HD files or order it printed on matte paper, with an optional wooden frame.
