A bird-eye view on ‘Citée Vallijee’ construction nearing completion round 1967, and a complete difference from what the actual ‘Citée Vallijee’ looks like. After the cyclones of 1960, Alix & Carol, many families were homeless and the government then decided to construct cheap and quick housings to remedy to the situation. At that time the Longtill company was awarded the contract for the construction of the small houses.

French: Vue d’en haut la Citée Vallijee en phase de finition vers 1967, est loin de ressembler à ce qu’elle est devenue aujourd’hui. Après les cyclones Alix et Carol, des milliers de familles furent sans abris. Le gouvernement d’alors prit l’innitiative de construire des maisons rapidement et à bas prix. Ce fut la firme Longtill qui decrochat le contrat.
