Hope this helps you : )
Both Hussmann and Yew planned to make life more livable in the two cities but the methods adopted were different but partly due to the different times that they operated in. While Hussamann in Paris had no place for common man ( 350,000 pleople were displaced from the center of paris ), Yew ensured that physical beauty was not given precedence over the living rights of the people. He controlled the social life of the people and ensured uniformity of economic processes for all. Haussmann's approach was to give civic amenities to the rich people at the cost of others.
Government should make the rules to govern the way people should live their lives, becuase one's personal way of living life will affect all other who the living with him. People who have a civic sense and do not take responsibility in this regard need to be trained for this. This method of rebuilding cities will alter the lives of citizens so that they can really have a better life...
