	Paris - Baron Haussmann—urbanist
		And on the section which crossed the Cité, for Haussmann did not fear to tamper even with that, he changed the rue de la Barillerie, as old as time, to the colorless boulevard du Palais.
		Then there is the nondescript boulevard Magenta, which we must lay at Haussmann's door; it has the virtue, however, of letting you look at some of the old buildings along its path; at the Couvent des Recollets, the church of St Laurent and, until recently, the prison of St Lazare.
		Nevertheless, even Haussmann's work was circumscribed by the limitations of human life, and he had to leave some things untouched.

		Once again, the infrastructure that brings fresh water to city dwellers (the provision of which has been prized as a high achievement by emperors, popes, and municipalities) lies close to that which handles the more sordid but equally vital task of waste disposal.
		Haussmann’s sewers were not designed to cope with human excrement, which, in traditional fashion, was dealt with by privies, cesspits, and night soil men.
		Every block in Haussmann’s Paris was designed with a source of water at the high point, which could be deviated by rolls of rag or carpet one way or another around the block to disgorge into the sewers.

		THERE IS A STORY that Baron Haussmann, who rebuilt Paris in the middle of the last century, on his deathbed wished all his work undone.

		Further English-language studies of Haussmann date back 30 years to David H. Pinckney's Napoleon III and the Rebuilding of Paris and Anthony Sutcliffe's The Autumn of Central Paris.
		He explains how the personal and political collaboration between Haussmann, who was the prefect of the Seine department, and Emperor Napoleon III facilitated the transformation of Paris from a medieval to a modern city.

	A novel take on Paris' master builder
		"Madeleine was predisposed to love Haussmann because she loved her own imagination, and Haussmann, in Paris, in 1858, was the author of all that could be imagined." As it turns out, their affair's most formidable obstacle is that which, by this account, made it possible to begin with: the baron's ambition.
		Another important figure in "Haussmann" is the French writer Paul Poissel, to whom, LaFarge explains in a framed annotation, authorship of the novel truly belongs.
		Readers going into "Haussmann" for a formal biography of the man and an analysis of his work (a starchy preamble to some extensive index and appendix with figures and diagrams) might well come out feeling duped, and so they should.

		In the process, Haussmann modernized the city, with the addition of sewage and sanitation systems, centralized rail transportation and markets, tree-lined streets and parks.
		Haussmann gave the city much of its current grandeur, but in order to build his impressive boulevards and vistas, he also disregarded the lives of the city's inhabitants, evicting hundreds of thousands from their homes and destroying the integrity of arrondissements around which Paris and the lives of the people were organized.
		Haussmann's nineteenth century transformation of Paris can be compared to Robert Moses' vast urban renewal projects in twentieth century New York City.

		To Jordan (The Revolutionary Career of Maximilien Robespierre), Haussmann was a new breed of bureaucrat, a technocrat, who for all his aloofness and administrative rigidity expressed the ideals of his age-rational order, incessant movement, progress, an urban life lived in public-in the modernized City of Light.
		In a sense, Haussmann is among the first technocrats, an expert who relied on pragmatism and science to get the job done, and though he clearly had Napoleon III's favor, he seemed to have been at the service of some higher aspiration.
		When the baron writes some feeble pastoral poetry about his youth, Jordan doesn't trust us enough to relish the absurdity of this autocrat imagining himself as a romantic, he insists on telling us how absurd it is and why we should think so.

		Baron Haussmann, appointed a prefect of Paris by the Emperor Napoleon III and nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte, was a city planner of genius.
		He was also granted draconian powers of demolition, and the shape of modern Paris with its broad, straight, tree-lined boulevards and avenues radiating like wheel spokes is a consequence of his singular vision.
		In his projected layout of the new city, which he imposed over the street pattern of the ancien regime, he anticipated the presence of a great opera house worthy not only of the capital of France and the Second Empire, but of the culture of the world.
