Overview

This study is part of a series growing out of a larger project entitled 'City and Society in the Low Countries (ca. 1200-ca. 1850). The condition urbaine: between resilience and vulnerability' organized under the auspices of the 'Interuniversity Attraction Poles Programme - Belgian State - Federal Public Planning Service, Science Policy (Belspo)' / 'Programme Poles d'attraction interuniversitaires - Etat Belge - Service Public Federal de Programmation Politique Scientifique (Belspo)'. The participants in the program are the Universities of Ghent, Brussels (ULB & VUB), Namur, Leuven, Antwerp, Utrecht and Leiden, and the Maps and Plans Department of the Royal Library (Albertina) in Brussels, and the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium in Brussels. This phase of the project (IAP Phase VII) focuses on three issues: environmental challenges of the city (resilience and precariousness), urban memories and urban community building (inclusion and exclusion). By foregrounding the place of the city in the Late Medieval and Early Modern history of the Low Countries, the essays both expose and help to explain the exceptional character and the disproportionate importance of the region within the European context during these centuries. The series invites authors to submit their manuscript to the series editor. After principal acceptance by the board, anonymous peer review will intervene to decide on publication. Marc Boone & Anne-Laure Van Bruaene (University of Ghent), directors of the IAP-programme.
