Haussmann's plan for Paris inspired the urban planning and creation of similar boulevards, squares and parks in Cairo, Buenos Aires, Brussels, Rome, Vienna, Stockholm, Madrid, and Barcelona.  After the Paris International Exposition of 1867, [[William I, German Emperor|William I]], the [[King of Prussia]], carried back to [[Berlin]] a large map showing Haussmann's projects, which influenced the future planning of that city.<ref>Maneglier, Hervé, ''Paris Impérial'', p. 263.</ref> 

His work also inspired the [[City Beautiful Movement]] in the United States.  [[Frederick Law Olmsted]], the designer of [[Central Park]] in New York, visited the [[Bois de Boulogne]] eight times during his 1859 study trip to Europe, and was also influenced by the innovations of the [[Parc des Buttes Chaumont]].  The American architect [[Daniel Burnham]] borrowed liberally from Haussmann's plan and incorporated the diagonal street designs in his 1909 [[Burnham Plan of Chicago|Plan of Chicago]].

Haussmann had been made [[French Senate|senator]] in 1857, member of the Academy of Fine Arts in 1867, and grand cross of the [[Légion d'honneur|Legion of Honour]] in 1862. His name is preserved in the [[Boulevard Haussmann]].
