"The old Paris was overcrowded, with narrow streets and inadequate sanitation, contributing to the spread of disease, particularly during cholera epidemics. Haussmann's reconstruction aimed to improve hygiene and public health by creating wider streets and installing a modern sewage system"
"Napoleon III envisioned a Paris that reflected the glory of the French Empire and wanted to modernize the city to compete with other major European capitals. The new boulevards and public spaces were designed to create a more spacious and aesthetically pleasing urban environment"
Paris was and still is a shithole even after reconstruction. Every other french city was cleaner, better, and more livable. French people brag about paris even though everyone who isn't a Parisian hates it and would rather live anywhere else. There's always that one disgusting city in every country and it's not because of "MuH ImMigRanTs"
