César Daly (1811–93), an architect by training, was the editor from 1839 to 1888 of the Revue générale de l’architecture et des travaux publics (RGA), one of the leading architectural journals on both sides of the Atlantic during the nineteenth century and was himself an influential architectural critic. While his importance as such has been ably and thoroughly chronicled by historians, his interest in urban planning has not received the close attention that it deserves. This article explores Daly’s understanding of the nature of the city in the modern industrial age. His theorization of those elements that determined the underlying infrastructure of cities and their centres, modern as well as ancient, was modelled upon Second‐Empire Paris. Such a theory, which synthesized many early nineteenth century speculations on the modern city, was intended to serve as a rational foundation for urban reforms in the French capital. It represented, moreover, a theoretical reading of Haussmannization at a mid point in this process. Daly was important, therefore, not only as an architectural critic but also as a significant thinker with respect to a theoretical understanding of city formation and planning and an interpreter of Haussmann’s reforms. His ideas, moreover, mark an important step in the eventual emergence of modern urban planning......César Denis Daly (17 July 1811,– 11 January 1894, was a French architect, publisher, and writer. He was one of the most important figures in the architectural press in nineteenth-century France, whose role as owner and editor of the famed periodical the Revue générale de l'architecture et des travaux publics shaped several generations of architects in France and beyond.....
He is best known today, however, for being the owner and founder of the Revue générale de l'architecture et des travaux publics (1840–1888) and the somewhat-less-known La Semaine des constructeurs (1877–1895), publications whose distribution was wide and frequently read by those in the design professions. He was also known as the author of several references works on architecture......
