Editing Amiens (section)

====Other neighborhoods====
Amiens, like other big cities, has its large [[HLM]] high-rise tower blocks:
* North of the city the neighborhoods ''du [[Dovecote|Pigeonnier]]'', which is famous for its weekend market, ''Messenger'', ''Mozart'', ''Fafet-Brossolette-la Cité'', ''Balzac'', and ''Léo Lagrange-Schweitzer'';
* Southeast of the city: ''[[Victorine-Autier]]'', ''Philéas Lebesgue'', ''Condorcet'', ''Pierre-Rollin''.
* West: ''[[Etouvie]]'' and ''Montières'' (an [[ecodistrict]] is provided in this industrial space, where there are 19th century in brick buildings).<ref>{{cite journal|title=Amiens, Un écoquartier en projet à Montières|id=E.G|journal=Le Moniteur|issue=5510|date=3 July 2009}}</ref>
* East: ''Saint-Acheul-la-Cité'' and the ''Clos de l'Avre''.

These areas experience a lot of social troubles and have regularly been the place for riots. The northern neighborhoods were the scene of violent events in 1994, 1999 and 2000 (clashes between several districts of the city and between the neighbourhoods of Amiens and the districts of [[Creil]]), in 2006 and 2008 (in the wake of incidents in the Paris suburbs){{citation needed|date=June 2015}} and more recently in August 2012 following a conflict between youth and the police. The cost of the latest vandalism to occur in the north of Amiens would amount, according to {{interlanguage link|Gilles Demailly|fr}}, to between four and six million euros. These extremely violent riots caused sixteen police officers to be injured.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.valeursactuelles.com/actualit%C3%A9s/politique/guerre-d%E2%80%99amiens-bien-eu-lieu20120918.html |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130630140410/http://www.valeursactuelles.com/actualit%C3%A9s/politique/guerre-d%E2%80%99amiens-bien-eu-lieu20120918.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=30 June 2013 |title=La guerre d'Amiens a bien eu lieu |first=Gilles |last=Gaetner |work=Valeurs actuelles |date=20 September 2012 }}</ref>

An extensive programme of redevelopment of these neighborhoods began recently, with demolition of HLM tower blocks and new infrastructure having been built, especially for schools. In 2009, the public transport network of the Amiens agglomeration was significantly modified.
