Scenarios about 'Baron Haussmann'
Georges-Eugène Haussmann was the urban planner who transformed Paris during the Second French Empire under Napoleon III from 1853 to 1870. His renovation of Paris created the wide boulevards, uniform building facades, public parks, and modern sewage systems that define the city's distinctive appearance today. In alternate history scenarios, Haussmann's urban planning principles are often applied to other cities or modified to explore different architectural and social outcomes for 19th century urban development.
