Baron Georges-Eugène Haussmann's rebuilding of Paris in 1853-1870, branded "Haussmannization," helped define urban modernity for cities worldwide. But even as infrastructures expanded and modernized, some Parisians were left behind: as late as 1928, 18 percent of houses still lacked direct sewerage.
