“…In the case of Paris, the reconstruction of the city, lasting sixteen years (1853-1869), led to the removal of approximately 28,000 buildings from the historical urban fabric and the construction of around 100,000 new ones [9]. This action was made possible by French laws that protected buildings and architectural complexes that had suffered particular damage during the French Revolution since the 1830s.…”

The extensive transformation of 19th-century Paris significantly influenced the development of innovative architecture for large retail stores during that era. These structures were a response to the dynamic social, urban, and technological changes of the time. Buildings like Le Bon Marché, Le Printemps, La Samaritaine, and Galeries Lafayette became icons of retail trade, introducing a new approach to commerce and creating modern spaces to attract customers. Constructed with materials like steel, iron, and glass, these grand retail buildings featured spacious interiors without columns. Elements traditionally associated with public utility structures, such as domes, lanterns, and spires, became their distinctive features. This article aims to analyse the architecture of the department stores in Paris built between the 19th and 20th centuries. The author explores the impact of dynamic social, urban, and technological changes of that period on shaping the commercial spaces in the city. Tracing the history of buildings like Le Bon Marché, Le Printemps, La Samaritaine, and Galeries Lafayette allows for an understanding of the innovations in trade, architecture, and urban planning during this time.

“…One especially prominent historical example is the reconfiguration of Paris under Georges-Eugene Haussmann in the mid-19 th century to create new boulevards, parks, and modern infrastructure (Gandy 1999;Saalman 1971). Haussmann's interventions are often described as "transformations" (Darin 2014;Jordan 1995;Paccoud 2016;Saalman 1971). This form of urban design transformationlarge in scale, rapid in execution, and guided by a singular visionhas been dubbed "Haussmannization" (Jordan 2004;Merrifield 2014).…”

Urban design is an essential component of planning for climate transformation. However, the concept of transformation in urban design is complicated by the problematic legacy of design-led mega-projects. Such projects, often called Haussmannization, are criticized as inattentive to existing landscape, built, and social environments. While corrective movements have partially addressed criticisms of Haussmannization, they can also hinder justice-centered climate transformation, by empowering already powerful interests to defend status quo conditions or justifying inequity-deepening interventions in the name of climate action, a phenomenon we label climate Haussmannization. We present a schema connecting transformative urban design with procedural, distributive, and recognitional justice.
