Le Mirail (French pronunciation: [lə miʁaj]) is a district in Toulouse, France. It was an urban expansion project proposed by the then-mayor Louis Bazerque in 1958, to combat the increasing population, and resulting housing shortage. [1]
In 1962, the Greek-French architect Georges Candilis was given the responsibility of designing the new quarter in Toulouse, along with Shadrach Woods and Alexis Josic.
Finished in 1972, the architectural experiment ended up being around two thirds of its planned size.[2]
