French politician. Born in Paris. After the July Revolution, he entered the public sector and played an active role for Louis Napoleon in the presidential election at the end of 1848. Due to his achievements, he served as prefect of the departments of Var, Yonne and Gironde, and in 1853 he was appointed prefect of the Seine, a position he held for 17 years. During this time, his greatest task was the major renovation of Paris, a city of extreme insanitary conditions caused by a rapid population growth, constant riots and barricades. He was responsible for the construction of road networks such as the Rue de Rivoli, Sebastopol and Boulevard Saint-Germain, the water supply and sewage system, and numerous parks. The modern city of Paris was his creation. However, the measures he took to raise funds for these projects led to huge budget deficits, which led to criticism and he was dismissed as prefect in 1869.

フランスの政治家。パリ生まれ。七月革命後に官界に入り、1848年末の大統領選挙ではルイ・ナポレオンのために活躍。この功績によってバール、ヨンヌ、ジロンドの各県知事を歴任、1853年にはセーヌ県知事に任命され、17年間この地位にとどまった。この間の彼の最大の仕事は、人口急増に由来する極度の不衛生、絶えざる暴動とバリケードの都パリの大改造であった。リボリ通り、セバストポル、サン・ジェルマン大通りなどの道路網、上下水道の整備、多数の公園などは彼の手に成るものである。近代都市パリは彼の作品であった。しかし、これらの事業の費用調達のために彼がとった方策は巨額の財政赤字をもたらしたために、非難の的になり、1869年に知事を解任された。 [阪上 孝] 『河野健二編『フランス・ブルジョア社会の成立』(1977・岩波書店)』 [参照項目] | |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
