Ambitions Tamed
When Lyon's population experienced significant growth in the 18th century, architect Jean-Antoine Morand made a radical proposal: France's second city would expand across the river Rhone. This title profiles Morand's career to provide a case-study of the possibilities of urban reform and refashioning within the courtly society of the Old Regime.
