The Haussmann's revolution plan:
- Between 1852-70
- Its was a modernisation programme
- Urban planning
- With long, straight an wide boulevards, filled with new cafes and shops, the new programme offered a whole new way of living for the parisians.
- A new urban scenario
- From cramped streets and closely built buildings, creating poor health conditions, the new paris was a fresh, open start
- Increased height of buildings
- Those who owned buildings were forced to clean and refresh the facade of their building every ten years
- More leisurely green spaces
