About this book
Besieged during the Franco-Prussian War, its buildings damaged, its finances mired in debt, Paris was a city in crisis. Alexia Yates chronicles the private actors and networks, practices and politics, that spurred the largest building boom of the nineteenth century, turning city-making into big business in the French capital.
Reviews
An outstanding history of the Parisian real estate market in the late nineteenth century which breaks new ground by revealing the crucial transformations in business culture and practice.
-- Jeffrey H. Jackson, author of Paris Under Water
-- Jeffrey H. Jackson, author of Paris Under Water
A deeply and impressively researched investigation of the real estate market in Paris at the end of the nineteenth century. Yates’s attention to speculators, owners, and companies rather than the state is a welcome addition to a historiography that focuses extensively on the state’s role in urban development. Selling Paris is an important contribution to French cultural, economic, business, and urban history.
