the Tuileries Palace in 1564, it waseventually opened to the publicin 1667, and became a publicpark after the French Revolution.In the 19th and 20th century, itwas the place where Parisianscelebrated, met, promenaded,and relaxed.

Boulevards, angled across existing streets and linked together atdiagonals, served many different functions.

They connected the city's new train terminals more efficiently, allowedthe quick deployment of troops in case of revolts and "disembowelled"the troublesome neighbourhoods.

more expedient transport of goods and services around town as the localeconomy shifted from small artisans working near their homes to anindustrialized system spread over a wide area.

eight new arrondissements added around the periphery of Paris set up anextendible matrix for future growth.

France's premier centre ofeconomic activity

important manufacturingpowerhouse of Europe,especially in industrial sectorssuch as automobiles,aeronautics, and electronics.

city's beauty rests in its dignity and consistency, itssymmetry and order.

To others, the architectural pleasures of Paris lie far fromHaussmann's grand boulevards lined with long stretchesof grey, elephantine buildings.

No other great city has so little modulation of colour,material, texture and scale as Haussmann's Paris.

Administrativesetup

the city of Paris is a single political unita communegoverned by an elected mayor and council, like anyother French commune down to the smallest village.

The suburbs consist of more than 1,200separate communes, large and small, which togetherwith the city of Paris form the administrative region

of le-de-France.

The municipal Council of Paris is elected by the peopleevery six years.

Conclusions

Cut wide avenues created public squares public gardens Developed standardsfor sanitation street sweepers

Boulevards radiated from the centre of the city

Large open streets created vistas and perhapscrowdcontrol

Buit up area is very dense as observed in the figureground

There are many nodes around the city that branch outand intersect with each other forming even morenodes
