The plans were a reflection of the Empire's evolution: authoritarian until 1859, and more flexible after 1860. 20,000 houses were destroyed, and over 40,000 built between 1852 and 1872.
Some of these projects were to continue under the Third Republic, after Haussmann and Napoleon III had stepped down.
