十七世纪初,巴黎以孤立的古迹而闻名,但尚未将其品牌打入城市空间。与其他欧洲城市一样,它仍处于中世纪的历史中。但仅仅一个世纪之内,巴黎就会变成我们今天所知的现代而神秘的城市。
尽管大多数人将巴黎的标志性特征与 19 世纪的公共工程联系在一起,但琼·德让 (Joan DeJean) 证明,巴黎的城市空间模式实际上是在两个世纪前发明的,当时法国首都的第一个完整设计已制定并实施。结果,巴黎发生了许多变化。它成为第一个拆除防御工事的城市,邀请人们进入而不是将他们拒之门外。巴黎的城市规划展示了新型街道,包括原来的林荫大道、公园以及最早的没有房屋的人行道和桥梁。各种城市娱乐场所纷纷开放,从歌剧和芭蕾舞到巴黎发明的休闲购物。巴黎人享有最早的公共交通和街道照明,巴黎成为欧洲第一个伟大的步行城市。
一个世纪的规划发展使巴黎既美丽又令人兴奋。它给了人们前所未有、前所未有的公开露面的理由。它赋予巴黎现代身份,成为人们梦想之地。到 1700 年,巴黎已成为彻底改变我们对城市和城市生活的观念的首都。

巴黎的奇点:一个城市的永恒演变
布尔乔亚时代的海德堡广场,如今光鲜亮丽的 Champs-Élysées,还有屹立的埃菲尔铁塔,都是巴黎这座城市永恒演变的见证。巴黎,被誉为爱与浪漫之都,从一个中世纪的小城,成长为如今的世界级都市,其背后隐藏着一段源远流长的创新之史,一段不断突破、不断超越的“现代城市发明”历程。
巴黎的蜕变并非一蹴而就,源于几个关键转折点。第一个转折点是19 世纪的启蒙运动。文艺复兴风潮带来的人文主义思潮席卷欧洲,巴黎则成为这股思潮的核心。哲学家、作家和艺术家们涌入巴黎,为这座城市注入新的活力。卢梭、伏尔泰、狄検这些思想家的作品,对巴黎的文化发展有着深远的影响,逐渐将巴黎塑造成一个思想自由、开放包容的国际化大都市。
第二个转折点是工业革命。机器开始取代人力,交通得到革命性的发展。巴黎积极拥抱工业浪潮,建设了巴黎地铁,成为了世界上最早采用地下铁路的城市之一。环绕巴黎外围的工业城镇不断涌现,带动了巴黎经济的蓬勃发展。也正是那时,人们开始关注城市规划、住房问题,巴黎开始尝试解决城市拥挤、卫生环境等问题,为现代城市管理奠定了基础。
第三个转折点是20世纪的现代主义运动。建筑大师们探索新的建筑形式,追求简洁、功能性的设计理念。巴黎成为了现代主义建筑的代表,埃菲尔铁塔便是其中的经典典范。同时,巴黎也成为了艺术和文化的中心,印象派、表现主义等艺术流派纷纷在这里诞生,为世界艺术发展注入了新的活力。
巴黎的创新并非仅仅停留在技术和文化层面上,它更注重城市生活的品质提升。如今的巴黎,以其独特的公共交通体系、丰富多彩的文化和艺术活动,以及完善的生活设施,吸引着来自世界各地的游客和艺术家。巴黎的成功经验告诉我们,现代城市的建设绝不能拘泥于功能性,更要注重人文关怀,为市民提供舒适宜居的生活环境。
当然,巴黎的扩张也并非没有争议。老旧的城市肌理面临着重建的挑战,人口结构的变化也带来了新的社会问题。如何平衡传统文化与现代发展,如何解决环境污染、社会不公的问题,都是巴黎需要继续探索的课题。
巴黎的故事,是现代城市演变的缩影。它告诉我们,城市的发展需要不断地创新、突破、超越,更需要人们的智慧和努力。巴黎的未来,将会继续写出新的篇章,它的经验和教训,也必将为其他城市的发展提供借鉴。

Title: Fascinating and enjoyable…and an excellent sourcebook
Review: I enjoy tales of fabulous characters, whether historical or imaginary, that follow them from their first appearance to their moment of highest triumph (or despair). What brought them about, what made them ‘them’, the turns and twists of fortune? In the book I speak of this month, one of my favorite characters is studied, her history recounted, illustrations of her growth in grace and charm, some account of the influences that made her what she is…This character was formed by a powerful man who, seeing her, visualized her as greater than she was at that moment. He had the power to direct actions, mold events, and it was through his love affair with this character that events that led her ultimate form were set in motion. His son and grandson crossed this character’s path, as well, each bringing changes and molding her with their actions and personalityI met this character in person, myself, in May of 1990, during a time of upheaval in my life. I was writing a story that features her. I have to say that I was charmed by her, fascinated, even enchanted. She remained a very important character of my WIP (Volume 1 is now published). I love to read about her, to see how others perceive her. I am not reviewing a book about a queen, a courtesan, a goddess or a great heroine, but a book about a city: Paris.Paris is the first of the great ‘modern’ cities. Others have copied Paris. My home city, Philadelphia, has The Ben Franklin Parkway, which is a copy of the Champs-Elysees. The City Hall there is a copy of the Hotel de Ville. I am working on a project involving Paris as a sort of setting. I needed to understand the history and the development of that city. I found the book, bought it and read it. I thought it would be informative. I did not expect it to be entertaining.DeJean starts with the sentence what makes a city great? The book goes on from there.Prior to the 17th century, Rome was the most celebrated European city, famous for its past. People made pilgrimages to Rome to visit its ancient monuments and historic churches, to seek inspiration. Novelty and excitement were not on the agenda. And then, in the 17th century, a city was invented (or, I think, reinvented) to hold a visitor’s attention and, itself, to provide enjoyment. This was Paris, the city as it is now, planned to be changed and enlarged, to grow into what it is now.The history is fascinatingly told. For anyone who has studied European history, the names are familiar. One king had the idea, his son and grandsons followed. Essentially, Henri IV invented city planning. The book follows the changes (wars, invasions, revolutions) and the challenges (a river runs through it). It was perhaps the most useful thing I read for research, and not nearly as gory as some, history being what it is.The construction of the book works. It is, after all, a history, so flows linearly. History involves people, and DeJean introduces the statesmen, rulers, ministers and citizens. The dreamers, the liars, the schemers… She ties the changes in culture in with the changes in the cityscape. The wide avenues that Paris is now famous for were novelties that encouraged leisurely strolling. Not going from one place to another, but strolling to see and be seen. Flirtation as a pastime, conveyances (fiacres, the original taxi cabs), modes of address… Architecture, too: the first balconies appeared in Paris, allowing residents to enjoy people-watching. And if people are strolling past your house, perhaps spiffing it up, or rebuilding it in a more magnificent form was desirable. And that fabulous piece of furniture, the boon for nappers and waiters-for-friends, made its first appearance in 1678. The park bench.The book contains lots of illustrations including maps, engravings of citizens and celebrities. DeJean comments on them and ties them in to her narrative.I bought this as a sourcebook. Rather like The Civil War Day By Day: An Almanac, 1861-1865 (Da Capo Paperback), or a topographical map of Georgia. Sourcebooks are useful, informative, generally interesting but not re-reads. Enjoyable ones are unusual. Joan DeJean writes in a flowing, chatty fashion. The linear structure of the book makes it into a history rather than an encyclopedia. For a sourcebook, I give it five stars….And, thanks to this book. I now have the perfect comeback line for someone who says, “Well, Paris was just a jumble of twisty, dark, dirty streets until Napoleon III and his minister, Baron Haussman, tore it all apart and rebuilt the city around 1850.” “No, you’re wrong. Paris as it is now was planned four hundred years ago. Go forth and read.”Unfortunately, such people are rare.

Title: A History of 16th and 17th century Paris.
Review: In this focused history of Paris, the author posits the idea that the Paris of the 21st century that we know and love was actually formed in the 16th and 17th centuries and not during the time period of Baron Haussmann. The book is a cultural history that focuses on the architecture, fashion, and urban fabric of Paris. In a series of chapters, DeJean explores the meaning of the Pont Neuf – the oldest standing bridge in Paris, the lighting of Paris that transformed the nightlife of the city, the construction of an island in the Seine that created some of the most noteworthy architecture of the time period, the creation of boulevards and parks, the destruction of the city walls, the creation of the Post, and the rise of Fashion, capital F.If you know history, you may wonder if Paris really was the invention of a lot of these things. Fashion for instance, for those who know their history, is not something that existed only in Paris. Or that was created in fashion. So some of the chapters may stretch your ability to believe. But in terms of the chapters of architecture, the author does make a good case that we should be focusing on kings like Henri IV and Louis XIV when discussing the transformation of Paris. Baron Haussmann, supposedly, copied a lot of ideas that were already implemented in the 17th century.This is a quick and easy read at around 300 pages. And it is an insightful book. Whether the modern city was invented in Paris is another question that I’m sure authors focused on other cities will have different answers to. Still, this is an excellent history of a vital couple of centuries in the history of Paris.

Title: The evolution of a great city. . . .
Review: I did not know quite what to expect when I ordered this book. But the blurbs made this volume sound intriguing.Before the late 1500s, Paris was, as the author notes (page 4), “that urban disaster.” From 1597 to 1700, though, the city was transformed. The country’s leaders called upon architects and other specialists to apply contemporary technology and knowledge to create a better city. This book focuses on some key changes over time–physical, economic, and cultural–to explain “How Paris Became Paris,” a modern city.Henri IV presided over the completion of Pont Neuf (the work began under an earlier King), a radical approach to making a bridge into a public place. It rapidly became a centerpiece for citizens of the city. Henri IV became committed to making Paris a better place, a more exciting and dynamic venue. Through Louis XIV, and even beyond, French kings expended labor and funding; even wealthy financiers became major actors in supporting construction.Each chapter in this book explores a distinct element in the process of making Paris Paris. The first chapter considers the impact of the Pont Neuf. Chapter two examines the construction of Place Royale now, Place des Vosges). Chapter 3? Ile Saint-Louis. Chapter five summarizes major public works–boulevards, streets, and parks (Chapter four describes political turmoil–relevant as it slowed progress in the city’s transformation). Chapter six speaks of the introduction of lighting and better transportation and the impact of these. The remaining chapters move away from infrastructure and the physical changes to more cultural aspects: culture and fashion and shopping consume chapter seven; chapter 8 delves in to the financial world; chapter nine is entitled “City of Romance.” The final chapter steps back, noting the new physical developments in Paris with Baron Haussmann in the mid-1850s. Then, the author goes back to summarize and contextualize the impressive development from the late 1500s to 1700, using objets d’art.What is fascinating about this book is how a detailed case study of the various topics examined creates such a dynamic story of how Paris evolved over time. I have been to Ile Saint-Louis and had no concept that this was, in essence, a planned community, designed to develop an undeveloped area in Paris. Thus, the story in this book enriches an understanding of Paris.All in all, an excellent work.

Title:
Review: In this well researched work, Ms. Joan DeJean very convincingly defends the thesis that Paris became, in the 17th century, the first « modern » city, notably awarding a high priority to pedestriansâ enjoyment.The originality of the book lies not so much in the information provided, with which most connoisseurs of Paris would be familiar, but in the links the author draws between various phenomena. Thus, the construction of the wide Pont-Neuf with its sidewalks and later the creation of the Tuileries garden are seen as providing new urban spaces that could be shared by men and women of all social classes. In another respect, the replacement of the Paris city walls by tree-lined boulevards is connected directly to Louis XIVâs decision to commission Vauban to construct massive strongholds at all the kingdomâs boundaries. Yet in another field, the improvement and beautification of Paris are seen as fitting in with royal policy to produce luxury goods locally and the desire to showcase them adequately to locals and foreigners alike.With a common sense reminiscent of Jane Jacobâs and like her without a training in urban planning, Ms, Dejean provides insights that perhaps only a newcomer to Paris could generate and proves more perceptive in many ways than the French themselves.The book is well illustrated, with black and white plates integrated with the main text and coloured ones sadly grouped separately in the middle of the book. Though all are captioned, there are frequent direct references to them in the text, what is in keeping with 21st century fashion.Though some may critique Ms. Dejeanâs partiality in favour of Paris, she has produced an exceptional analysis that is warmly recommended to all city lovers.
