I just want to point out that the Paris we find "traditional" these days was an explicitly rational and brutal exercise in demolishing the previous more traditional and medieval Paris. Hence, we come to the idea of Progress as continuous destruction and disenchantment and how, most answers to modernity are about stopping the clock at some arbitrary time which will, by their nature, fail because most past moments were also imbued in radical destruction by modernity (aka progress).
The solution is not to stop time but for tradition to OWN progress, OWN technology and dictate its direction. I want to use the principles of medieval Paris to bulldoze modernity with poetry, fibre optic cable and a hard ban on advertising.
