Intense work and bitter rivalries resulted, although they bore fruit only long after Morand had died on the guillotine in 1794. In Ambitions Tamed, Pierre Reynard 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. Morand's story offers fascinating insights into social and professional advancement in a society defined by privilege, the workings of a complex urban political culture, relationships between a provincial city and the capital, the role of factions in determining the success or failure of enterprises and reforms, and the technical and financial aspects of late eighteenth-century urban projects. Ambitions Tamed illuminates the literature and methodologies of urban development, economic and entrepreneurial history, intellectual history, and environmental history in order to explain more fully the relationships among enlightened principles, established power structures, and new initiatives at the dawn of urban expansion. 606 $aArchitects$zFrance$zLyon$vBiography 606 $aCities and towns$zFrance$zLyon$xGrowth$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aEntrepreneurship$zFrance$zLyon$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aUrbanization$zFrance$zLyon$xHistory$y18th century 607 $aLyon (France)$xHistory$y18th century 607 $aLyon (France)$xPolitics and government$y18th century 607 $aLyon (France)$xSocial conditions$y18th century 615 0$aArchitects 615 0$aCities and towns$xGrowth$xHistory 615 0$aEntrepreneurship$xHistory 615 0$aUrbanization$xHistory 676 $a944/.5823034 700 $aReynard$b Pierre Claude$f1951-$01660388 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825256903321 996 $aAmbitions tamed$94015560 997 $aUNINA
