context_page_description: During the Restoration of the Bourbon monarchy that followed the downfall of Napoleon, Paris was ruled by a royal government which tried to reverse many of the changes made to the city during the French Revolution. The city grew in population from 713,966 in 1817 to 785,866 in 1831. During the period Parisians saw the first public transport system, the first gas street lights, and the first uniformed Paris policemen. In July 1830, a popular uprising in the streets of Paris brought down the Bourbon monarchy and began reign of a constitutional monarch, Louis-Philippe.
context_section_description: The city expanded,  especially to the north and west,  funded by the city's energetic new bankers. Beginning in 1822, the bank of Laffitte funded a new neighborhood, the quarter Poissonniere, including a new street, called rue Charles-X until 1830, now rue La Fayette.  Another real estate developer named Dosne created the rue Notre-Dame-de-Lorette and the Saint-Georges quarter.  In 1827, the city spread toward the northwest;  the Enclos Saint-Lazare was divided into lots, and thirteen new streets laid out.   In 1829, the rue Vivienne was extended.   Beginning in 1826, a large new neighborhood, the Quartier de l'Europe, was developed between the old wall of the Farmer's General, the rue Saint-Lazare, parc Monceau and rue de Clichy.  The new streets in the neighborhood were named after the capitals of Europe of the time, including Naples, Turin and Parma.  A new boulevard, Malesherbes, was begun and surrounded with side streets and building sites.    Beginning in 1823, another entrepreneur laid out fashionable new residential neighborhood to the west, between the allee des Veuves, the Champs-Élysées and the Cours-la-Reine.  It was called the quartier Francois-Premier. 
  The city soon had to enlarge its borders,  In 1817, the village of Austerlitz, on the site of the modern train station of that name,  was annexed to Paris, bringing with it the hospital of La Saltpétriére.  In 1823, a consortium of investors started  a new community on the plain of Grenelle, around a brand-new village called Beaugrenelle.  Within five years the new neighborhood had a main street, rue Saint-Charles, a church and a population.   Another new town was launched outside the city at les Batignolles, an area of scattered farms and gardens. By 1829 it had a church and a population of five thousand persons, and was joined the villages of Monceau and Montmartre.
