Haussmann's Paris

Baron George-Eugene Haussmann, the first

Civil Engineer.

On June 22, 1853 Baron Haussmann was

commissioned by Napoleon III to modernize

Paris, which at the time was known as a

medieval city. His biggest challenge was to

widen avenues and place multiple railway

stations that surrounded the entire city for more

adequate traffic circulation. By doing so, he

transformed over 60% of the buildings in Paris,

which are known today as “Hausmmannian

style” architecture

ADAM SMITH

Overview

Adam Smith was born in Kirkcaldy, Fife,

Scotland in 1723. He is famous for his

contributions in the fields of moral

philosophy and political economics

through his books The Theory of Moral

Sentiments and An Inquiry into the Nature

and Causes of the Wealth of Nations. The

Wealth of Nations especially is regarded as

one of the first modern works of

economics, and provides much of the basis

for capitalist model of modern economics.

This earned him his nickname as the

"father of economics.“

Education

Smith attended the University of Glasgow

in 1737. Three years later he started at

Oxford, where he studied and gained

enough fame in the academic world to land

a position at the University of Edinburgh

back home in Scotland in 1748.
