초록

Since the industrial revolution, there has been a plan for the rapidly expended city, a so called Haussmann's plan. The primary goals of that project were to build and expand an infrastructure, to make a zoning regulation, and to disperse an urban program. Since then, the modern city has been developed.

In this study, therefore, the main argument is focused on how to deal with this relocated area and how to maintain the sense of place with all existing infrastructures positioned.
