Lakes and parks
A chain of lakes and green spaces runs through the town, including the Lac du Héron. On the map they form soft open shapes between the neighbourhoods.

The map
About this Villeneuve-d'Ascq map poster
Villeneuve-d'Ascq was created in 1970 by merging three villages, Annappes, Ascq and Flers-lès-Lille, into a planned new town east of Lille. Its map mixes surviving village centres with large modern districts, a network of lakes and parks, and fast roads that wrap around the neighbourhoods rather than through them. It feels less like a single town than a set of connected quarters.
Education and research are central to its layout. The Cité Scientifique campus of the University of Lille covers a large area with wide lawns and scattered buildings, and the town was served by the world's first fully automated metro, the VAL, from 1983. Stade Pierre-Mauroy, home of Lille OSC, and the LaM museum of modern and outsider art are also here.
A Villeneuve-d'Ascq map poster shows how much open space a planned city can hold. Lakes and parks punctuate the street network, campus quads create broad rectangles of calm, and the old villages add small, dense knots of streets. The mix of shapes makes a varied and well-balanced print at every size.

University campus
Cité Scientifique spreads across a large site with long buildings, lawns and internal paths, creating a distinct pattern of quads unlike anything else in the town.
Three old villages
Annappes, Ascq and Flers still have their historic centres. Their small, irregular street patterns stand out against the curved roads of the planned districts.
