revolution and legacy
4.0
In mid-19th century,
Paris had major urbanisation issues and required major change
Social reformer Victor
Considerant in 1845”
“Paris is an immense workshop
of putrefaction, where misery,
pestilence and sickness work in
concert, where sunlight and air
rarely penetrate. Paris is a
terrible place where plants
shrivel and perish, and where,
of seven small infants, four die
during the course of the year”
4.0
Dense habitat with very poor quality of construction 4.0
Very narrow lanes:
limiting transportation, air and sun flows
4.0
No decent waste/sewage system,
leading to massive epidemics such as cholera outbreaks
4.0
Napoleon III
Selects Haussman to “aerate, unify and embellish Paris”
 Emperor Napoleon III selects Haussmann in 1853 as
prefect of Paris, impressed by his energy, audacity and
ability to overcome or get around problems

different parts of the city into one whole, and to make it
more beautiful.

3. Wide roads (22-24 meters)
4. Tree lining
5. No exception to rules!
4.0
Major elements from Haussman style were defined 4.0
To make all the new roads,
“strong” methods were employed!
 In 1851, new land bill to make expropriation easier
 Haussman reporting only to emperor, not parliament
 Bankers roped in to finance constructions in exchange of
real estate rights
 First road built with 3000 labourers with work 24 hours a
day for 4 years to make the rue de rivoli
4.0
A major program

To build such new roads:
Massive expropriation took place
Paris the International City
4.0
Paris turned into a giant construction site –
example to build Opera new avenue
Paris the International City
4.0
Public acceptance went down:
Haussmann was fired in 1870
 Expropriate owners growing protest and escalating
 Climbing costs whereas France was close to war
 Tiredness of Parisians to see Paris as a major
“construction site”
 "In the eyes of the Parisians, who like routine in things
but are changeable when it comes to people, I
committed two great wrongs: Over the course of
seventeen years, I disturbed their daily habits by turning
Paris upside down, and they had to look at the same
face of the Prefect in the Hotel de Ville. These were two
unforgivable complaints."[Haussman in his Memoirs]
4.0
Paris modernisation Legacy
Paris the International City
 Haussman rigidity was questioned in 1970’s by
functional architects (typically le Corbusier) who wanted
more variety / new functionalities, but that quickly faded
out
 Important place dedicated to transportation (then
horses, now cars) is challenged: Paris is now
restricting more and more car usage
 Overall Parisians nowadays do not challenge any
more the Haussmann heritage
