Haussmann’s renovation of Paris was a city-led master plan situation where Napoleon III gave urban planner Haussmann full authority over building new streets and sanitation AND a form-based code:
—small-lot, mixed-use, mult-family buildings rising 4-6 stories tall
—built wall to wall so they form solid street walls and coherent blocks
The city provided good infrastructure AND GOOD CODE; the private builders built it out.
It also helped that paris sits on top of the limestone quarries that supply the (naturally fire-resistant) stone used to build the single-stair buildings.
Haussmann cracked the code on what makes a beautiful medium-density city. Why is it then that we can't replicate this all around the world? Genuine question.

The new Amsterdam Maakt Ruimte agenda draws a new line: 0% car growth — and a city designed to live better, not just move faster. 🌳
