As transfer points between different economic and cultural zones,
cities are crucial to shaping processes of cultural exchange. Urban
culture embraces cultural traits borrowed or imported from afar and
those of local neighbourhoods, professions and social groups, yet
it also offers possibilities for the survival of minority
identities. This volume compares the characteristics and patterns
of change in the spaces, sites and building, which expressed and
shaped inter-cultural relationships within the cities of early
modern Europe, especially in their ethnic, religious and
international dimensions. A central theme is the role of foreigners
and the spaces and buildings associated with them from ghettos,
churches and hospitals to colleges, inns and markets. Individual
studies include Greeks in Italian cities and London; the 'Cities of
Jews' in Italy and the place of ghettos in the European
imagination; and the contributions of foreign merchants to the
growth of Amsterdam as a commercial metropolis.
