| Summary | "Paris Nouveau et Paris Futur" by Victor Fournel is a critical account of the transformations happening in Paris written in the mid-19th century. The text closely examines the urban changes initiated by Baron Haussmann, looking at various aspects of architectural and social evolution in the city. Fournel expresses a blend of admiration and lamentation for both the historical Paris that is disappearing and the new urban landscape that is emerging. The opening of the text sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the dramatic transformations that Paris has undergone during this period. Fournel introduces his perspective by contrasting the vibrant, chaotic environment of medieval Paris—filled with intricate architecture and diverse populations—with the orderly, monumental boulevards being constructed by the new administration. He begins his critique by describing the profound changes in the city's layout and architecture, encapsulating both the excitement and the dislocation felt by its citizens as they navigate a city in flux. The author's intention is to discuss these developments not only from a political standpoint but also from an artistic and historical viewpoint, advocating for a balance between modernization and the preservation of Paris's artistic heritage.
