The Making of the Netherlands. Landscape, Cities and Architecture
The making of the Netherlands' gaat over de inrichting van ons land. Centraal staat de vraag waarom Nederland er zo uitziet als het er uitziet. Nederland bestaat uit een reeks door mensen gemaakte landschappen. In die cultuurlandschappen liggen honderden dorpen en steden, verbonden door rivieren, kanalen, spoorlijnen en wegen. In die dorpen en steden staan markante gebouwen, zoals kerken, stadhuizen en stations.00Dit boek belicht de totstandkoming van deze landschappen, stedenbouw en architectuur in samenhang. Aan de hand van historische kaarten, nieuw getekende kaarten, plattegronden, schilderijen en foto's wordt in 35 korte hoofdstukken verteld hoe Nederland in 2000 jaar zijn huidige aanzi...

Atlas of the Dutch Urban Landscape
"This book contains a comprehensive synthesis of a millennium of spatial development in the Netherlands. Series of maps, photos and paintings clearly illustrate processes of growth, stagnation and decline in Dutch towns and place them in an international perspective. The Atlas of the Dutch Urban Landscape is the first national overview of urbanization and urbanism and as such a potential source of inspiration for other nations in Europe and beyond."--
OverHolland 21
"Water management and cultural heritage in the Netherlands are inextricably linked. This edition of 'OverHolland' looks at the area known as the Randstad, where the water system is almost entirely below sea level. It is regarded as the main driver of the Dutch economy, being the most urbanised and most densely populated part of the country. A comprehensive map published by Willem Hendricus Hoekwater in 1901 was an important source of inspiration for the joint study of the genesis of the Randstad's water system conducted by the Cultural Heritage Agency and the Faculty of Architecture at TU Delft that forms the core of this edition and its detailed cartographic reconstructions."--publisher.
Stadswording in de Nederlanden
Dit boek gaat over de wording van steden in de Nederlanden gedurende de Middeleeuwen. Bijna alle steden die wij tegenwoordig kennen, zijn tussen de elfde en vijftiende eeuw ontstaan. Dankzij het vele werk dat is verzet in bijvoorbeeld de archeologie, de historische geografie, de geschiedwetenschap en de architectuurgeschiedenis is de kennis van het stadswordingsproces de afgelopen decennia flink toegenomen. Door het overwegend specialistische karakter van het recente onderzoek is een overzichtelijke kijk op de Nederlandse stedengeschiedenis echter ver te zoeken. In dit boek wordt voor het eerst een handzaam overzicht gegeven. Een keur aan specialisten uit de verschillende disciplines behandelt op toegankelijke wijze thema's zoals de stad in het landschap, de interpretatie van archeologische vondsten, de morfologie van de stad en de verlening van stadsrechten. Bovendien wil dit boek duidelijk maken wat de diverse disciplines die zich bezighouden met de geschiedenis van de stad aan elkaar kunnen hebben, en zo een stimulans zijn voor verder synthetiserend onderzoek naar de wordingsgeschiedenis van steden in de Nederlanden.
The Rise of Cities Revisited
Adriaan Verhulst's The Rise of Cities in North-West Europe (1999) is the last comprehensive work written by a single author on the urban genesis and spatial developments of cities in the medieval Low Countries. Since then, monographs, specialised studies and articles have been published on various cities and towns, while urban archaeologists have carried out numerous excavations. Much new knowledge has been gained, yet many gaps and the need for comparative overviews remain. Twenty-five years after Verhulst's synthesis, The Rise of Cities Revisited takes a fresh look at the origins and developments of cities and towns in the Low Countries between the tenth and the sixteenth centuries, critically assesses progress made in scholarship and outlines future directions for research. The nine chapters of the book are written by senior and junior specialists from various fields, including medieval history, historical geography, economic history, archaeology and building history. The Rise of Cities Revisited presents a state of the art and provides scholars with tools to study this complex subject in future.
New Historical Atlas of Amsterdam
The history of Amsterdam has often been described, but a good overview of the development of the city from an international perspective is lacking. This is remarkable given the internationally oriented inhabitants and the large numbers of foreign cultural tourists who embrace the capital. A potential audience for an atlas that uses a wealth of historical maps and specially drawn new map material to tell the story of Amsterdam from its origins as a harbor town near Dam Square, via the mighty trading metropolis in the Golden Age, to the Global Village it is now. An accessible study in which Amsterdam is presented to a broad national and international audience in an international context. A book that invites you to explore the city, compare historical maps and contemporary reality and discover urban design and architecture that are a milestone in the development of the city. A book that also shows that Amsterdam was the European center of cartography in the Golden Age.
Dutch Deltas
In Dutch Deltas, Werner Scheltjens examines the emergence, functions and structure of the Low Countries’ maritime transport system between ca. 1300 and 1850. Scheltjens introduces the delta as a suitable geographical unit of analysis for understanding the regional economic origins of communities of maritime transporters. The author proves that changes in maritime trade networks and in the structure of regional economies entailed a process of specialisation, which led to the emergence of ‘professional’ maritime transport communities and the development of an integrated maritime transport market with Amsterdam and Rotterdam as its main centres. Dutch Deltas offers the first comprehensive study of the economic geography of the Low Countries’ maritime transport sector and its long-term development between 1300 and 1850.
Duke House and the Making of Modern New York
An important contribution to understanding the development of modern New York, focusing on elite domestic architecture—in particular the James B. Duke House—within the contexts of social history, urban planning, architecture and interiors, and adaptive reuse for new functions.
Adaptive Strategies for Water Heritage
This Open Access book, building on research initiated by scholars from the Leiden-Delft-Erasmus Centre for Global Heritage and Development (CHGD) and ICOMOS Netherlands, presents multidisciplinary research that connects water to heritage. Through twenty-one chapters it explores landscapes, cities, engineering structures and buildings from around the world. It describes how people have actively shaped the course, form and function of water for human settlement and the development of civilizations, establishing socio-economic structures, policies and cultures; a rich world of narratives, laws and practices; and an extensive network of infrastructure, buildings and urban form. The book is organ...
