Before the transformation and expansion project of Lutèce was carried out by V.E Company, the cityscape of the capital was no different from the many large cities of this era, being both overcrowded and disorderly. His Majesty Charles IV had also constructed numerous bypasses around the city and had attempted to manage the cityscape several times. However, due to financial constraints and various disputes, he had never fundamentally modified the city center, and hence the problems remained unsolved.
The extensive urban demolition and renovation carried out by Li Lin primarily took place in this area.
