Late medieval and early modern cities are often depicted as cradles
of artistic creativity and hotbeds of new material culture. Cities
in renaissance Italy and in seventeenth and eighteenth-century
northwestern Europe are the most obvious cases in point. But, how
did this come about? Why did cities rather than rural environments
produce new artistic genres, new products and new techniques? How
did pre-industrial cities evolve into centres of innovation and
creativity? As the most urbanized regions of continental Europe in
this period, Italy and the Low Countries provide a rich source of
case studies, as the contributors to this volume demonstrate. They
set out to examine the relationship between institutional
arrangements and regulatory mechanisms such as citizenship and
guild rules and innovation and creativity in late medieval and
early modern cities. They analyze whether, in what context and why
regulation or deregulation influenced innovation and creativity,
and what the impact was of long-term changes in the political and
economic sphere.
