The Cité Jardin is a social-housing neighbourhood, built in 1924 and now protected under the 20th century  heritage label. It is located in front of the Fagor Brandt factory, the main venue of Lyon´s Biennale in 2019. It is also within walking distance of the ENS campus and the Bio District. While the surrounding area is being gentrified, The Cité Jardin remains untouched due to its heritage status. This condition deals with ideals of preservation and with the non-acceptance of transmutation , but also with indifference, deterioration and invisibilization as public policies and the flow of the market don’t seem to reach these properties. Many of its residents had worked at Fagor Brandt.
