The population rose during these two centuries from approximately 30,000 to over 250,000 inhabitants. The causes and consequences of this demographic explosion are thoroughly examined for the first time in this book by Jo?rg Oberste. As it turns out, the management of urban space is key to understanding one of the most dynamic processes of urbanisation in pre-modern Europe: Who decides on the new construction of streets, squares, and houses? From whence does the multitude of new inhabitants come? What are the consequences of this massive wave of immigration on urban society, the economy, and the keeping of the peace? What kind of self-understanding evolves from the heterogeneous construct of the rapidly growing city, and what kind of external perceptions is late medieval Paris able to create? When does the myth of the "magical city on the Seine" (Heinrich Heine), perpetuated to the present day, come to be born? Oberste's extensive investigation of the pertinent and wide-ranging medieval sources sheds new light on these and other questions related to the significant expansion of the City of Lights in the Middle Ages. 410 0$aBrill studies in Greek and Roman epigraphy ;$vVolume 1. 606 $aCities and towns, Medieval$zFrance 606 $aCivilization, Medieval 607 $aParis (France)$xHistory$yTo 1515 607 $aParis (France)$xSocial life and customs$yTo 1500 607 $aParis (France)$xIntellectual life$yTo 1500 607 $aFrance$xSocial conditions$y987-1515 615 0$aCities and towns, Medieval 615 0$aCivilization, Medieval. 676 $a944.36101 700 $aOberste$b Jo?rg$0442627 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823518303321 996 $aThe birth of the metropolis$93986304 997 $aUNINA
