| | Covered with mud and makeshift shanties, damp and fetid, filled with the signs of poverty as well as the signs of garbage and waste left there by the inadequate and faulty sewer system. | | | Haussmann was also criticized for the great cost of his project. | | | He was born in that city of a Protestant family, German in origin. |

| | Haussmann |
| | Haussmann also had a 'nose' for the common man, by creating new systems of water supply and drainage so as to remove the foul odors- for which the French were and still are known for today. | | | Baron Georges Haussmann was largely responsible for the transformation of Paris from its renaissance character to the one it preserves today. | | | In his last officially held office, in the Seine Department, he embarked on a truly catholic endeavor in which he created a program of public works. |

| | Paris - Baron Haussmann—urbanist |
| | Nevertheless, even Haussmann's work was circumscribed by the limitations of human life, and he had to leave some things untouched. | | | But there was once a Prefect, Haussmann, who was born in 1809, before Napoleon had changed anything but his mind. | | | 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. |

| | Paris: Story of a City |
| | This film was made to mark the centenary of the death of Baron Haussmann in 1891. | | | Paris became the yardstick by which all European cities were judged. | | | `Haussmannism' is often seen as a kind of urban vandalism presaging the great modern devastations in the name of progress; it can also look like totalitarian imposition by an authority eager to control and police its populace and to suppress revolution. |

| | Haussmann's mandate was not only to create an impression of grandeur but to secure the city for better control by government. | | | By creating formal spaces where there had previously been a maze of chaotic streets, Haussmann opened Paris to effective police control and thwarted the recurrent demonstration of its well-known revolutionary fervor. | | | This triumphant rebuilding was chiefly the work of one man, Baron Georges Haussmann, Napoleon III's Prefect of the Seine. |

| | Prefect Baron Haussmann |
| | Haussmann was not an architect, but his work as a bureaucratic city planner affected the designs of many architects. | | | Napoleon III exercised his political power, securing the necessary property rights and providing funds for the design based on principles of the Ecole des Beaux Arts, such as axial approaches, uniform facades, and careful attention to perspectives. | | | Haussmann's planning skills created a city in which old and new overlap, a model for city planners even today. |

| | Baron Haussmann, Prefect of Paris, was responsible for reshaping the city during the nineteenth century under the Second Republic of 1848-53 and the Second Empire of 1853-70. | | | Haussmann developed a series of broad boulevards in the center of Paris as a means of alleviating the chronic overcrowding of the essentially medieval plan of the central city. | | | Haussmann's plans also encompassed the creation of amenities such as the Bois de Boulogne, a vast park intended for the recreation of the middle and upper classes. |

| | FANFARE FOR THE NEW EMPIRE |
| | Baron Haussmann used to complain that all the new and revamped parks in Paris had to have "the inevitable grotto" because the Emperor had developed a passionate fondness for them in their settings in English parks. | | | Eugénie's beauty and charm made her one of the bright lights of his reign, and her strength of character sustained — some would say overwhelmed — him through the triumphant years of his reign and the final, bitter years of his exile. | | | The remaking of Paris began, by Napoléon III's decree, in 1855, when Baron Haussman began cutting his swath through slums and churches in order to give the Paris of the new empire the Roman grandeur of wide boulevards and focal points of monumental structures. |

| | 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. | | | 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. | | | Baron Haussmann, appointed a prefect of Paris by the Emperor Napoleon III and nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte, was a city planner of genius. |

| | The government and other public institutions commissioned many photographers--among them Charles Marville, Henri Le Secq, Edouard-Denis Baldus, and Gustave Le Gray--to record the old Parisian architecture and to document the demolition and reconstruction. | | | Shelley Rice's superb PARISIAN VIEWS is a stimulating collection of essays on aspects of 19th century photography in Paris, especially during that period of time in which Baron Haussmann was in charge of gutting medieval Paris and rebuilding it as the city we know today. | | | Like a flaneur, the essays range almost randomly over a host of subjects, overlapping to a great deal in the end, but not having a particular or central thesis that permeates them all. |

| | Paris was being redesigned by Baron Haussmann and in its transformation; the furniture-makers of the faubourg Saint-Antoine were producing abundantly in order to furnish all of the new townhouses and apartments. | | | This was a period of literal copies for the materials, forms, and ornamental motifs seen in the furniture produced during this period were all borrowed from preceding styles. | | | The furniture of the Napoléon III period is most influenced by three styles: the Renaissance, Louis XV (rococo) and Louis XVI. |

| | It is as if he is launching into a biography, but the subject is a city rather than a woman or man. The chapter could just as easily been titled “Paris: The Formative Years.” | | | FOCUS: The chapter title identifies Baron Haussmann, the prefect of the Seine under Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, with a redefining moment in the history of Paris. | | | It is as dangerous to judge a book by a single chapter as a cathedral by a lone flying buttress, but Jordan writes in an engaging manner. |

| | Paul LaFarge's novel about the celebrated city planner Baron Haussmann (1809-91), who redesigned the city of Paris as a place of light, space, and grand boulevards, focuses on his legendary and incomprehensible deathbed wish that he had left the city as it was. | | | As he tries to unravel this enigma, LaFarge tells a complex story of a love triangle that changed not only lives but the fate of a great city. | | | The victims of hurricane Katrina need your help. |
