- Title
Transforming Space: Visible and Invisible Changes in Premodern European Cities.
- Authors
van Kleij, Nathan
- Abstract
"Transforming Space: Visible and Invisible Changes in Premodern European Cities" is a collection of contributions that examines the gradual and continuous transformations of pre-modern city centers in Europe. The book challenges the assumption that significant changes only occurred during the industrial revolution and focuses on smaller and less visible modifications. The contributions cover various topics such as mitigating geopolitical and fire risks, the role of religion in urban development, and the impact of economic and demographic changes on housing blocks. While the book lacks some coherence and cross-references, it provides valuable insights for historians studying urban planning and transformation in pre-modern cities.
