Its vantage is a plea to establish a frame of reference for radically comparative urban studies positioned between geography and archaeology. Based in multidisciplinary social and spatial theory, a critical realist understanding of the boundaries that compose built space is operationalised by a mapping practice utilising Geographical Information Systems (GIS). Benjamin N. Vis gives a precise account of how BLT Mapping can be applied to detailed historical, reconstructed, contemporary, and archaeological urban plans, exemplified by sixteenth to twenty-first century Winchester (UK) and Classic Maya Chunchucmil (Mexico). This account demonstrates how the functional and experiential difference between compact western and tropical dispersed cities can be explored. The methodological development of Cities Made of Boundaries will appeal to readers interested in the comparative social analysis of built environments, and those seeking to expand the evidence-base of design options to structure urban life and development." 606 $aSociology, Urban 606 $aCities and towns 615 0$aSociology, Urban. 615 0$aCities and towns. 676 $a307.7 700 $aVis$b Benjamin N.$0953418 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910682515903321 996 $aCities Made of Boundaries$92155574 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01153nam2 22002653i 450 001 VAN00088032 005 20240806100641.588 100 $a20120321d1848 |0itac50 ba 101 $ager 102 $aDE 105 $a|||| ||||| 200 1 $aˆ<<‰System des heutigen römischen Rechts>> 5$fvon Friedrich Carl von Savigny 210 $aBerlin$cVeit$d1841 215 $a VI, 646 p.$d22 cm 316 $aBiblioteca Lauria$5IT-IT-CE0105 CONSBL.800M.185 461 1$1001VAN00086597$12001 $aSystem des heutigen romischen Rechts$fvon Friedrich Carl von Savigny$1210 $aBerlin$cVeit$d1840-1856$1215 $a9 volumi$d22 cm.$v5 620 $dBerlin$3VANL000066 700 1$aSavigny$bFriedrich Karl von$3VANV001762$0153320 712 $aVeit$3VANV112567$4650 801 $aIT$bSOL$c20240906$gRICA 899 $aBIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI GIURISPRUDENZA$1IT-CE0105$2VAN00 912 $aVAN00088032 950 $aBIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI GIURISPRUDENZA$d00CONS BL.800M.18 5 $e00BL 223 20120323 Biblioteca Lauria 996 $aSystem des heutigen römischen Rechts 5$91435285 997 $aUNICAMPANIA
