HAUSSMANN, GEORGES-EUGEÈNEHAUSSMANN, GEORGES-EUGEÈNE (1809-1891), creator of modern Paris.Georges-Eugène Haussmann was not an architect, an engineer, a city planner, a hydrologist, or a landscape designer. He was a lawyer by education, a career administrator by choice, and the man who created modern Paris (where he was born and where he died). Meanwhile Haussmann's plans suffered from mission creep, surveys were inaccurate; the difference in levels underestimated. Demolishing 236 properties became 423: the budget soared. Those potentially displaced formed the basis for further revolution. Barricades and the ripping up of paving slabs became traditional by 1830. Baron Georges-Eugène Haussmann. Baron Georges-Eugène Haussmann, a Parisian who razed his own city, was one of history's most well-known and disputed urban designers. 125 years after his death, France is still divided over whether the man who transformed Paris into the City of Light was a true master designer or an imperialist mad man.
