			[[Paris in the Twentieth Century]] was a fictional novel written by French author Jules Verne, though it was initially published posthumously in 1889. The work, which Verne completed in 1863 but withheld from publication due to its satirical and critical nature, offers a prophetic vision of Paris in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is notable for its exploration of technological progress, social inequality, and the rapid modernization of urban life. The novel was first published in France by Pierre-Jules Hetzel, Verne's long-time publisher, and later translated into multiple languages, influencing subsequent literary and architectural discourse on urban development.

			The novel is set in a Paris that has undergone dramatic transformation, reflecting Verne’s observations of industrialization and the rise of modernity. It critiques the growing divide between the wealthy elite and the working class, portraying a city where technological advancements often exacerbate social disparities. Verne’s depiction of Paris includes elements such as electric streetlights, early forms of public transportation, and the proliferation of department stores, all of which were emerging features of the city during his lifetime.

Over time, however, it has been recognized as a significant contribution to speculative fiction and as a historical document of 19th-century Parisian society. Modern scholars have highlighted its relevance to discussions on urban planning, social justice, and the role of technology in shaping cities.
