英语词汇haussmannization的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Haussmannization. Haussmannization is frequently heard today in connection with the blight and plight of cities around the world. To Haussmannize means to remodel a city along beautiful lines and celebrates Baron Georges-Eugène Hauss- man (1809–91), who administered a face-lifting to Paris, start- ing in the middle of the 19th century. While prefect of Paris, Haussmann completely remodeled the city. He laid out the Bois de Boulogne and other parks; constructed new streets and wid- ened old ones; instituted a new water supply and sewer system; created wide, open spaces and vistas; and built new bridges, railroad stations, and numerous public buildings. These and many other improvements required expenses and loans that re- sulted in a public debt of hundreds of millions and eventually led to Haussmann’s dismissal in 1870, 17 years after he had be- gun his plan. Interestingly, Haussmann was trained not as an architect but as a financier. The Boulevard Haussmann also bears his name.
