What is The Paris Sewers and The Rationalization of Urban Space about?
The document discusses how photographs taken in the 1860s captured the transformation of the sewers in Paris initiated by Baron Haussmann. This reconstruction revealed tensions in concepts of urban order that were only resolved after Haussmann. The flow of water in Second Empire Paris represented a transition between modern and pre-modern relations between the body and urban form due to capitalist urbanization.
