HIST 164

France from Medieval to Modern: Politics, Society, and Art

ARCH 253 / HIST 253
PARIS, THE PLANNING OF A METROPOLIS (3 credits) (HU)

The splendor of modern Paris is due in large part, large to bold, large-scale modernization and changes in the city’s patterns during the 19th century. From a crowded labyrinth of decaying tenements, magnificent buildings, large thoroughfares, bridges, and parks were constructed. The course will cover a century of change, and focus on the major accomplishments of its visionary planners. Prof. Savage.
