Architectural symbols and interventions in the built environment have documented the rise and fall of political systems in the twentieth century. During the second world war, the city of Paris functioned as a cultural concept and as well as a geographical site that was a problem of national concern to French officials because it was the country's administrative capital and the locus of its national patrimony. Although Vichy France cannot be considered fascist, its authoritarian political environment provided fertile conditions for modernization and the creation of national structures for management. Yet the government's economic policies were disguised in a cultural agenda or <italic>Révolution nationale</italic> whereby official propagandists disseminated images of provincial agrarian communities that attempted to mitigate the social malaise and growing urban problems of the previous decade. Professional activity in Paris, therefore, served as a microcosm of French practice to the degree that it was characterized by a plurality of responses where modernism and modernization were as equally legitimate as regionalism. In this context, the conjuncture of Paris was the collusion between a strong political regime, often extreme social agendas, and coordinated economic planning. Viewed in these terms, wartime activities are critical to understanding how the reconstruction or “national renovation” of Paris was accelerated during the Second World War in a way that was neither complicit in restoring Paris to its previous activities nor in reproducing its pre-war character. There are two goals to this project. The first objective is to specify cultural production as determined by discrete historical conditions which caused limitations in the capital, both material and social. A related investigation is to interrogate how architecture and planning were influenced, contaminated, and to a certain degree determined, by social discourses pertaining to major issues such as open space, sports, health and regionalism. The second part of this study reframes this activity in terms of larger strategies of the French state in the twentieth century such as modernization, urbanization, and nationalization which were closely connected to administrative changes and the growth of new technical practices that emerged over the course of the Occupation.
