What was Christopher Wren’s focus after much of London burned in 1666, and how did his plans change?

Answer:

After the Great Fire of London in 1666, Christopher Wren proposed a grand redesign with broad streets and open spaces. The plan was not adopted because rebuilding needed to begin quickly and existing property boundaries made a complete redesign difficult. Wren instead focused on rebuilding many of London’s churches, including St. Paul’s Cathedral.
