Improve, large avenues are necessary to have fluid traffic.
Lincoln Ramirez

He did it so you temperamental crybabies wouldn't throw a fucking revolution every 2 weeks
Grayson Bell
>Haussmann

William Thomas
objectively superior city planning, you cannot get lost
Isaiah Richardson
i mean, paris is half a hundred times better than london so he can't have been that bad
Jeremiah Nelson
one of the very few examples of urban planning done right.
also, how the fuck is pic related allowed?
Ayden Morris
It would be horrible to oppress the gilet jaunes in old Paris
Oliver Reed
>paint x lite
Jeremiah Fisher
Improve. Before that most houses are build out of wood, if it had not be done, the entire city would have being wiped out by fire a couple of times before concrete became a thing and now we would staring to a bunch of bauhaus copies.
Juan Martin
Maybe...
because...
it's being renovated?
Cooper Brown

Leo Collins
>for mac
Install gentoo.
Hudson Morales
If it wasn't for hausman Paris would look very similar to London nowadays, probably.
Imho it was an improvement.
Kevin Hernandez
Pre-Haussmann Paris doesn't look impressive in photos, to say the least. So, probably the city wasa improved with the reforms.
Joshua Foster
This. I'm quite happy to changed it to be frank. Pre-Haussmann Paris looked messier than Brussels.
Josiah Fisher
Soul vs soulless
William Jenkins
>paris is half a hundred times better than london
In what sense?
I've never been there, what do you mean?
Noah Jenkins
You mean horrible as in difficult?
Charles Nguyen
Have you seen their skyline these days though? It's even more of a mess than London's.
Juan Nguyen
I'm telling you, it's this kind of thought that has made American government to plan 09/11, they wanted to modernize NY's landscape.
Dominic Martin
Montparnasse was a fucking big fat mistake.
Nolan Wright
Oh hey, you guys have a big glass dildo too, I didn't know that.
Tyler Gomez
no no no why build it so close to the Eiffel Tower?
Jack Wood
why do people talk smack about that building, it looks nice desu. some of the other shit looks like it was randomly generated
Jayden Cruz
I actually kind of like it aswell, don't really get the hate. I kind of like the shard too.
The actual criminial is the fucking walie talkie. I wish some terrorist would blow it up.
Josiah Wood

iirc it improved so well that some british noble when he came to revamped paris in the 1870's something, he said something like "finally, paris smells good" kek
paris used to be pretty horrible, it was an old city
Ethan Rodriguez
Stop trying to look american please
Gabriel Cook
>Napoleon III will be shunned forever despite his domestic improvements
Juan Sanchez
>"finally, paris smells good"
Did Hausmann make the French leave? :)
Isaiah Clark
How so? Without Napoleon III we would not have Germany.
Justin Adams
there is literally nothing wrong with brussels in terms of architecture
the only problem is that it still hasn't dealt with urban decay in some parts, i.e. still has some gentrification to go through
other than that, it's pretty fucking great. you have gothic, you have the low countries style, neoclassicism, french second empire style, art deco and all that kind of different stuff in large amounts
Ian Wright
there must be a lot of traffic on that roundabout on a regular day
how does someone get to the arch?
Anthony Nelson
underground passage
Josiah Cox
well, Paris is gorgeous so maybe? But large scale top-down urban planning projects are usually awful
