Description: Document is a comprehensive treatment (approved by Emperor Napol©♭on III) by civil engineer Jule Borie concerning the "a©♭rod©þme", Borie's high-density, high-rise urban housing proposal, which was designed with the aims of improving quality of life and decreasing the costs of living in France's heavily settled urban environments.
