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. First published in 2007, 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.
