Spaces and spatialities in Paris between the ninth and nineteenth centuries: urban morphology generated by the management of otherness

Abstract

AbstractBased on the different type of ecclesiastical institutions, an analysis of the plots owned and developed by the different orders reveals that some spatial characteristics endure in the modern city. The degree of fragmentation and the nature of subsequent urban development is shown to be a function of the type of church established in the medieval period. The examples are based on detailed plot analysis in Paris.
