Requests:  0 Summary:  "In 1853 the French emperor Louis Napoleon inaugurated a vast and ambitious program of public works, directed by Georges-Eugène Haussmann, the prefect of the Seine. Haussmann's renovation of Paris would transform the old medieval city of squalid slums and disease-ridden alleyways into a "City of Light" characterized by wide boulevards, apartment blocks, parks, squares and public monuments, new railway stations and department stores, and a new system of public sanitation. City of Light charts this fifteen-year project of urban renewal which--despite the interruptions of war, revolution, corruption, and bankruptcy--set a template for nineteenth and early twentieth-century urban planning and created the enduring landscape of modern Paris now so famous around the globe. A lively and engaging read, City of Light is a book for anyone who wants to know how Paris became Paris"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 944.36107 Ch Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 944.36107 Ch Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 944.36107 Ch Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 944.36107 Ch Checked In Add Copy to MyList
