Question

Write a short note on​Haussaminisation of Paris.

Answer 1

Haussmann's renovation of Paris was a vast public works program commissioned by EmperorNapoléon III and directed by his prefect of theSeine, Georges-Eugène Haussmann, between 1853 and 1870. It included the demolition of crowded and unhealthy medieval neighborhoods, the building of wide avenues, parks and squares, the annexation of the suburbs surrounding Paris, and the construction of new sewers, fountains and aqueducts.

The street plan and distinctive appearance of the center of Paris today is largely the result of Haussmann's renovation
