The Rise of Cities in North-West Europe by Adriaan Verhulst
Verhulst examines fifteen towns, mainly situated on the rivers Meuse and Scheldt and along the North Sea coast of present day Belgium, Holland and France. He details the impact of political, military, ecclesiastical, economic and social factors on the development of towns from market towns to industrial centers. Arranged chronologically, the book charts the settlement and subsequent growth of the towns from the fourth to the twelfth centuries. Well illustrated with maps and with a full bibliography, this book will prove essential reading for students and scholars of historical and urban geography.
The Rise of Cities in North-West Europe summarizes recent work by historians and others; it evaluates archaeological and toponymic evidence" David Nicholas, History
