This book examines the overlapping spaces in modern Western cities to explore the small-scale processes that shaped these cities between c.1750 and 1900. It highlights the ways in which time and space matter, framing individual actions and practices and their impact on larger urban processes.It draws on the original and detailed studies of cities in Europe and North America through a micro-geographical approach to unravel urban practices, experiences and representations at three different scales: the dwelling, the street and the neighbourhood. Part I explores the changing spatiality of housing, examining the complex and contingent relationship between public and private, and commercial and domestic, as well as the relationship between representations and lived experiences. Part II delves into the street as a thoroughfare, connecting the city, but also as a site of contestation over the control and character of urban spaces. Part III draws attention to the neighbourhood as a residential grouping and as a series of spaces connecting flows of people integrating the urban space. Drawing on a range of methodologies, from space syntax and axial analysis to detailed descriptions of individual buildings, this book blends spatial theory and ideas of place with micro-history. With its fresh perspectives on the Western city created through the built environment and the everyday actions of city dwellers, the book will interest historical geographers, urban historians and architects involved in planning of cities across Europe and North America.

This book offers a comprehensive, interdisciplinary exploration of Naples—a city of profound historical depth and multifaceted complexity situated at the geographic and cultural crossroads of Europe and the Mediterranean. Spanning from the Late Middle Ages to the present day, it examines the intricate relationships between power, society and urban transformation that have shaped its distinctive identity.Moving beyond traditional narratives, this volume presents a blend of diachronic narrative and thematic insights into key aspects of political, social, economic and cultural history. It traces Naples' assertion as the capital of an early centralised kingdom, charting its physical evolution along with its economic and social fabric. This book also examines the city's complex search for a redefinition of its role in the post-unification era—a pivotal turning point in its history—ultimately providing readers with the analytical framework needed to decipher the history of a city whose image is heavily influenced by myths and stereotypes.The Routledge Handbook of the History of Naples since the Late Middle Ages serves as a valuable resource for scholars and postgraduates specialising in urban history, Mediterranean studies, and Italian history, offering fresh perspectives and rigorous methodologies. Its clear approach also makes it highly useful for undergraduates and non-specialist readers, including booksellers and librarians, seeking a deeper understanding of Naples' enduring legacy.
