Vol. 63 No. 2 (2015)

The papers in this issue focus on the problem of urban space of towns established on the German law in East-Central Europe in medieval and early modern period. They present a new way of looking on the urban environment, which was spatially, socially, legally and symbolically heterogeneous. This new approach is connected to methodological change in space analysis – treating ‘space’ not only as a stage for social processes but also as a product of human actions and imagination.
