| Title | Genesis and functions of the suburbs of Lviv, Krakow, and Wroclaw between the 13th and 15th centuries |
| Summary | This thesis aims to study and compare the administrative and infrastructural development in the territories outside the central walls of cities in East-Central Europe. Since the medieval suburbs were the territory where goods for trade were produced, changes that can be traced in the organization and functioning of the territories extra muros should be analyzed. For this purpose, three important cities of the region, Wroclaw, Krakow, and Lviv, were chosen. This research attempts to demonstrate elements of the complex urban space organization in the Middle Ages through the implementation of the so-called German law, the settlement process in the suburbs, and the influence of cities' institutions and patricians. The three selected cities demonstrate similar patterns of suburban genesis from their respective proto-towns, emergence and functioning of various settlements and infrastructure located in the area extra muros as well as the development and placement of several infrastructural entities. The first chapter presents the general context of the region as the changes brought up by so-called German law, major geopolitical events, and the landscapes of each of the three cities. The second chapter deals with the genesis of the suburbs and defines osadas, jurydykas, and new towns within this territory. The last chapter is devoted to the placement of several types of infrastructural entities at different proximity to the in-wall city. |
