Whereas some poets projected urban space as a new utopia, others simply reflected the new significance of the urban environment as a stage where their characters operate very successfully. As today, the premodern city was the locus where different social groups and classes got together, sometimes peacefully, sometimes in hostile terms. The historical development of the relationship between Christians and Jews, for instance, was deeply determined by the living conditions within a city. By the late Middle Ages, nobility and bourgeoisie began to intermingle within the urban space, which set the stage for dramatic and far-reaching changes in the social and economic make-up of society. Legal-historical aspects also find as much consideration as practical questions concerning water supply and sewer systems. Moreover, the early modern city within the Ottoman and Middle Eastern world likewise finds consideration. Finally, as some contributors observe, the urban space provided considerable opportunities for women to carve out a niche for themselves in economic terms. 410 0$aFundamentals of medieval and early modern culture ;$v4. 606 $aUrbanization$xHistory 606 $aCities and towns$xGrowth$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aUrbanization$xHistory. 615 0$aCities and towns$xGrowth$xHistory. 676 $a307.7609 686 $aNM 1400$2rvk 701 $aClassen$b Albrecht$016691 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456625603321 996 $aUrban space in the middle ages and the early modern age$92478273 997 $aUNINA
