Ernest Hébrard (1875-1933) was a French architect, archeologist and urban planner.
He is mostly renowned for his plan to reform the city of Thessaloniki in Greece.
This was accomplished by the "Hébrard plan", the plan Hebrard had conceived and developed with the aid of the Greek architects Aristotelis Zachos and Konstantinos Kitsikis.

For that reason, Athens was not designed merely to be the capital of a petty state: it was to be the chief city of an empire, along the lines of the other colonialist capitals of Europe.
Thus —largely by chance— Thessaloniki acquired a new centre, designed by the experienced town planner Ernest Hebrard (1918-21),(4) while Athens, even at that early date, was referring to grandiose dreams which had no hope of coming true.
Hebrard's project in Thessaloniki proved to be unique in the history of Greek town planning.

Ernest Hebrard (1875-1933), a French architect and town planner, studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris.
Up to 1914, when he found himself in Thessaloniki in the Archaeological Service of the Army of the Orient on the Eastern Front, he had been involved, among other things, in the upgrading of Casablanca and the restoration of Diocletian's Palace at Spoleto.
Shortly afterwards, having successfully prevented the construction of a courthouse in the Makriyianni district of Athens -- in his view it would have irreparably damaged the sensitive area around the Acropolis -- he returned to Paris where he died.

 The Hebrard Plan (1917-1921)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
Aristotelous Square is the only building complex that preserves the architectural vision of E. Hebrard, 1921-1994, Thessaloniki.
Drafted by an international committee headed by the architect-archaeologist Ernest Hebrard and composed of such architects as Aristotelis Zachos and Konstantinos Kitsikis, the plan swept aside the memories of the Orient in favor of a European layout with neo-Byzantine elements.
At the same time, it created a topography adapted to the social, economic and town-planning demands of an industrial city with wide avenues and regular city blocks.

That urbanism engulfed nearly all of the patrician homes that dotted the sea shore.
Nevertheless, one notices that the setting up of a bold city planning (unique in Europe in that period) just after the 1917 fire, resulted in a re-monumentalization of that part of the city that was rebuilt according to the plans of the French architect Ernest Hèbrard.
These tensions between monumentalization and de-monumentalization, between private and collective spaces, can be seen in Mikael Levin's photographs.

 The Richmond Review, Feature article, Imagining Vietnam by Robert Templer
A plan for the town was drawn up by the architect Ernest Hebrard, one of the foremost urban planners of his time.
Dalat was supposed to be a strictly controlled and segregated area for the French only; the Vietnamese needed permission to live there and were confined to a few areas on the edges of the town.
Hebrard's plan was not popular among the colonial residents, who ignored his well-organised if antiseptic scheme and built a rambling town of nostalgic cottages modelled after those in the Alps and Alsace.

 The Norwegian Ambassador's Residence in Hanoi (Norway - the official site in Viet Nam)
Villa No. 43 is the residence of the Deputy Country Director of the World Bank, and together the four villas from a square which represents the well-known French Classic Masterplan School (Beaux-Art), first introduced to Hanoi in 1923 by the famous French architect Ernest Hebrard.
According to Dr. Nguyen Vinh Phuc, a famous scholar who devotes his whole life studying Hanoi, the Villas were designed by Hebrard and built by the French property developer Eminent, who constructed the villas as a business enterprise.
Villa No. 41 was bought by a high ranking official at the Indochinese General Directorate of Education, but changed owners many times, until in 1947 a French merchant, Bonfils, bought it and lived there until 1956.

Imagine urban development respectful of the water-shed, using the annual ebb and fall of the Mekong (12 meters between the highest and lowest water levels) and a unique modern transport system based on the complex water highway that is a gift of nature.
Imagine floating cities, waterways instead of roads, solar-powered boats, fish farming and floating markets, such as described by the visionary Ernest Hebrard, the designer of colonial Phnom Penh.
Imagine an economy and society composed harmoniously with this aquatic environment instead of the present tendency that is slowly but surely transforming it into yet another earth-based one, filling in precious water reservoirs left, right and center, without any feasibility or environmental study.

In a very modest way, its demise began first under the Ottomans, who in 1890 appropriated a small swath of the oldest section, along the border where the old city wall had stood, to build a road of National Defense and what became the Old Philosophy Building.
After the great fire of 1917 that destroyed much of the old, oriental Salonika, municipal officials, under the direction of the French architect and urban planner Ernest Hébrard (1875-1933), decided to expand the burgeoning city beyond its historical boundaries.
The expropriation of the entire Jewish cemetery became a critical component of their plan, space for a new university and for a vast municipal park.

The terrible fire of 1917 destroyed its largest part, and what survived the fire was unfortunately abolished by contemporary views about growth and urban planning.
The opportunity that was given for a unique in Greece urban planning intervention by the French urban planner Ernest Hébrard, was lost after strong pressures by certain social and ethnic groups.
This intervention was never implemented and the only sign that reminds of this lost spring for the city is Aristotelous Square.

In the 18th and early 19th centuries, the city's Jewish community was so strong and so prosperous that some called Thessaloniki the "second Jerusalem." Then, in August 1917, a devastating fire destroyed 80% of the city.
Unfortunately, only part of the city was rebuilt according to the grand plan of the French architect Ernest Hébrard -- in part because of the 130,000 Greek refugees from Asia Minor who flooded into Thessaloniki between 1922 and 1923, almost doubling the city's population and leading to enormous unregulated development.
