Routledge has recently published a book
containing many contributions on the legal history of urban regulation.
DESCRIPTION
Towns are
complicated places. It is therefore not surprising that from the beginnings of
urban development, towns and town life have been regulated. Whether the basis
of regulation was imposed or agreed, ultimately it was necessary to have a
law-based system to ensure that disagreements could be arbitrated upon and
rules obeyed. The literature on urban regulation is dispersed about a large
number of academic specialisms. However, for the most part, the interest in
urban regulation is peripheral to some other core study and, consequently,
there are few texts which bring these detailed studies together. This book
provides perspectives across the period between the high medieval and the end
of the nineteenth century, and across a geographical breadth of European
countries from Scandinavia to the southern fringes of the Mediterranean and
from Turkey to Portugal. It also looks at the way in which urban regulation was
transferred and adapted to the colonial empires of two of those nations.
