Mike Devereux sets out to explode the myth that London is an organic, unplanned city shaped by economic forces, and Paris is, in contrast, a planned city moulded by the state. He describes the many similarities that the two cities share and how planning ideas in fact ‘flowed between the capitals’ during the Haussmann era. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
